MistServer in MacOS requires permissions to create temporarily files, as such running MistServer as root is recommended. The easiest way to do this is to boot MistController from the Terminal using sudo. You can do this by opening the Terminal, typing sudo and dragging the MistController inside the terminal window. Make sure there is a space between sudo and the file path. You will be promped to enter the root password before you can continue.
