In Unix systems such as Linux and MacOS, you need root (administrator) privileges in order to write files to the root of the file system (i.e. the folder /).

In short, you should save files somewhere inside of your home directory and not in the root of the file system; that would be /home/quinzer on Linux or /Users/quinzer on MacOS (replace quinzer with whatever your user name actually is).

The save dialog for your system should have a button or some such somewhere that lets you jump to that location. It’s usually a little house, a picture of a house on a folder, etc.
