make-fit Error

@BenT1105, wanted to follow up to see if you can provide some details about what is being run when you get this error. Do you still have this problem?

Hi @ksterne and @pasha-ponomarenko, thank you both for responding. I am still getting this error so I ended up moving onto something else for the time being. I believe the issue could be a permission issue on my mac. Meaning the radar hardware information is in a folder that when the make_fit command is run, it can't access that folder. I am unsure however how to change this permission. Unfortunately, I have little experience with using the command line.
