title: Upgrading IntelliJ IDEA after Sierra Upgrade: does not have write access to /private/var
body: <p>Trying to upgrade Intellij IDEA from 2016.2 to 2016.2.5 and I am getting this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>IDEA does not have write access to

  <p>I can't modify the permissions of that folder because it is read-only. I've tried <code>chown</code> and <code>chmod</code> as root, neither of which work. </p>
