After creating the environment and the sqlite held data, try to run main.R and get 15 warnings(). The first couple relate to permission issues. I recursively opened the whole directory with chmod 777 and still getting the same error. Googling doesn't surface anything and I am not super familiar with here() package. Welcome any trailheads. Thanks in advance.

Warning messages:
1: In dir.create(intermediates_dir, recursive = TRUE) :
cannot create dir '/finished_reports', reason 'Permission denied'
2: In normalizePath(path, winslash = winslash, mustWork = mustWork) :
path[1]="/finished_reports/tex": No such file or directory
3: In normalizePath(path, winslash = winslash, mustWork = mustWork) :
