I installed the elastic agent on macos Ventura 13.0.1 using the command line and the installation failed showing： ```auto panic: getwd: invalid argument goroutine 1 [running]: github.com/elastic/elastic-agent/internal/pkg/agent/application/paths.retrieveExecutablePath() github.com/elastic/elastic-agent/internal/pkg/agent/application/paths/common.go:197 +0x148 github.com/elastic/elastic-agent/internal/pkg/agent/application/paths.initialTop() github.com/elastic/elastic-agent/internal/pkg/agent/application/paths/common.go:183 +0x20 github.com/elastic/elastic-agent/internal/pkg/agent/application/paths.init.0() github.com/elastic/elastic-agent/internal/pkg/agent/application/paths/common.go:41 +0x20 ``` Command used： sudo . /elastic-agent install --url=[https://xx.xx](https://xx.xx) --enrollment-token=xx --insecure --force What is the solution to this? ---

which version of `elastic-agent` are you trying to install? Also, just to double check. Are you using the `aarch64` version or the `x86_64` version? Also does the Terminal application that you are installing from have Full Disk Access? We have seen the install fail on Ventura when it doesn't. ---

The installation package used is the arch64 version.The installation is failing, the option is not yet displayed in the full disk access rights. ---

I have tried to use the installation package of elastic agent 8.5.0 and elastic agent 8.5.3, but the installation failed, what is the solution? Or is this a bug? ---

I'm having the same issue on macOS Ventura. When trying to install elastic agent on Mac, it fails with `Error: failed to fix permissions: chown /Library/Elastic/Agent/data/elastic-agent-{code}/elastic-agent.app: operation not permitted` error. Agent is visible on elastic fleet but when searching for elastic files on `/Library/Elastic/`, I see an empty directory. The /Library/Elastic directory is created, but there is no Agent sub-directory. Fetch agent status via `elastic-agent status` throws `command not found: elastic-agent` error. Unable to uninstall using `sudo /Library/Elastic/Agent/elastic-agent uninstall` too. Tried using 2 different machines running Ventura. They have the same problem. Previous OS versions work just fine. Failing OS details : macOS Ventura 13.0.1 ---

solution: Add full access to the hard disk to the terminal application. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/9/59062535164e2398612ef7e9f0ae42da8ec5646f.jpeg) ---
