Why am I getting a “Permission denied” error when installing Age with PostgreSQL 11?

I’m trying to install Age with PostgreSQL 11, but I’m facing a "Permission denied" error. When running the command
bash-3.2$ sudo make PG_CONFIG=/Users/moiz/Apache_age/postgresql/src/bin/pg_config install,
it gives the following error:

bash-3.2$make: execvp: /Users/moiz/Apache_age/postgresql/src/bin/pg_config: Permission denied
bash-3.2$make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

I have already tried changing the permissions of the pg_config file using
chmod +x /Users/moiz/Apache_age/postgresql/src/bin/pg_config
and changing the ownership using
sudo chown moiz /Users/moiz/Apache_age/postgresql/src/bin/pg_config, but the issue persists.

    When you specify the path on chmod and chown don’t include /pg_config like so:

    chmod +x /Users/moiz/Apache_age/postgresql/src/bin
sudo chown moiz /Users/moiz/Apache_age/postgresql/src/bin

    I had the same issues when installing. I would advise you to change your installation directory of postgres 11. I installed it by giving the path $HOME/pg_11 and then used it while installing AGE from source code.

    If you need more precise instructions, i would advise you to go through this article which shows how you can install from source code and start to modify it.
