Upgrading IntelliJ IDEA after Sierra Upgrade: does not have write access to /private/var

Question

Trying to upgrade Intellij IDEA from 2016.2 to 2016.2.5 and I am getting this error:

IDEA does not have write access to /private/var/folders/_q/7md3pcy1

Answer 1

I had the same problem, the only thing that I do was the next:

$ brew cask reinstall intellij-idea.

After that I open the IntelliJ and select the option related with import previous config.

That new version is able to be updated.
