Default Can't save - did I do something wrong on install?

Tried to take it for a test drive, but I never got to that point. After watching multiple videos on installing (mac os High Sierra) turns out I can't save projects. So.... wipe clean and start from scratch? Does this happen often? thanks

How exactly are you not able to save projects?

WHERE are you saving to?

I've never seen this happen with Reaper, but it sometimes happens with other apps, especially when saving to the desktop or the downloads folder. It's a permissions problem that happens on High Sierra, because of SIP.

You might need to boot from the recovery partition to fix the permissions.

I followed all the directions on tutorial videos. I set up an external drive for my projects. But it seems like there are a lot of folders and paths to name and maybe I didn't do that correctly. Shouldn't be this difficult. Same one I've been using for Pro Tools, so I know it works. I create a project, try to save and get an error message "unable to save project". I'm at the point where I feel like I either have to reinstall from scratch and waste a day on that or pay for a PT subscription cuz I know that works. I have work to do...

fixed, I think. Went through setup tutorial and fixed path names I think is what did it.

Of course, now it just won't record. You'd think I'm just an idiot but I've been using Pro Tools for 7 years, so...
