bash: bin/magento: Permission denied

When we run a script/file that does not have execute rights, we usually receive the message bash permission refused.

That is one of the most commonly encountered Magento issues. All we need to do is update the file permissions and add executive.

To resolve the bash permission denied problem, perform the following steps:

• Open the terminal (shell)
• Go to the script’s folder.
• To alter the file permissions, use the CLI command:

chmod +x path_to_file/file_name

For instance, consider the following Magento 2 CLI command:

bin/magento ...

and receive the following error:

bash: bin/magento: Permission denied

Solution for bash: bin/magento: Permission denied

The bin/magento file must be given the execute (x) permission.

Please use the following CLI command to do this:

chmod +x bin/magento

In the case of Magento 2, we can alternatively use the following command (php before bin/magento) to prevent the problem:

php bin/magento ...

Another issue we may see while performing bin/magento tasks, such as the ones listed below, is website downtime during deployment:

The deployment may take so long that consumers leave the website and bounce rates rise.
