Playwright.InstallAsync(): Permission denied

See original GitHub issue

Recently back into the dotnet space so hopefully an easy fix on my part. Occurring on local mac osx

Console.WriteLine("Installing playwright");
await Playwright.InstallAsync();

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Permission denied
