Operating system: MacOS 13.2.1  
Slicer version: 5.2.2

On startup of a freshly downloaded stable release of Slicer 5.2.2, I face all these python errors. I do not know where the problem is and how to over come. Could someone please share some insight into the same?

It seems that your settings file is not writeable. The file is created in your user folder by default, so it is normally writeable. You can print the file location by typing this command into the Python console:

```
print(slicer.app.settings().fileName())

```
