I am new to Python and I wanted to try coldtype to play with variable fonts (https://coldtype.goodhertz.com/install.html), but when I type ~ $ pwd in terminal i get zsh: permission denied: /Users/myName. I already enabled auto_cd in ~/.zshrc but I still get the same error.
(i have Big Sur macOS)

  • `~` expands to you home directory. You can't "execute" a directory, since a directory is not a program. By turning on `auto_cd`, a lone `~` would indeed work (and cd into your home directory), but by adding additional parameters (`$` and `pwd`), you disable the auto_cd-feature for this command. It's not clear to me what you want to achieve with this command. – user1934428 Mar 15 '22 at 07:43

I'm guessing you copied that from an example. The ~ $ part is just showing you what the prompt might look like. The part you're supposed to type is just pwd.
