OS: Mac OS 10.14.16; Julia Version: JuliaPro_v1.3.1-1
I am animating a plot in Julia and can not achieve the desired functionality of Plots.gif when I do not launch JuliaPro as root. I recently overcome an error in JuliaPro where I would get a permission denied when trying to load modules by invoking sudo chown -R foo ~/.juliaPro. If I run JuliaPro as myself, i.e., NOT root, I get the following error:
ERROR: LoadError: failed process: Process(`/Users/connorfuhrman/.juliapro/JuliaPro_v1.3.1-1/artifacts/060c5b3c7386ef4a519b0d3e45380e0b905e0bf1/bin/ffmpeg -v 0 -framerate 5 -loop 0 -i /var/folders/v1/zchgkh6j5xb77_bcw7nvk9pr0000gn/T/jl_lczuj5/%06d.png -i /var/folders/v1/zchgkh6j5xb77_bcw7nvk9pr0000gn/T/jl_lczuj5/palette.bmp -lavfi paletteuse=dither=sierra2_4a -y '{path to gif file redacted}'`, ProcessExited(1)) [1]

But when I run JuliaPro as sudo the gif executes correctly...
I have tried to place a symbolic link to ffmpeg (installed via Homebrew) at /Users/connorfuhrman/.juliapro/JuliaPro_v1.3.1-1/artifacts/060c5b3c7386ef4a519b0d3e45380e0b905e0bf1/bin/ but that gives this same error that the process failed.
Why would Julia's Plot.gif execute correctly when run as root but not when called regularly? and why would this happen if I chown-ed the relevant folders/files?
Note that I have redacted some personal information from the stack trace that does not alter the relevant information.
