From the terminal, I tried to go to usr\local\bin under my user name login id, but I got the Permission denied. Same as ls command. Any suggestions?
Edit:

In versions of OS X or macOS previous to High Sierra (10.13), you could just type:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local This does not apply to macOS 10.13 or above, as System Integrity Protection will ensure the ownership of /usr/local cannot be changed.
Or if you want it specific to /usr/local/bin:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/bin Also, your permission modes are off—ideally /usr/local/bin should be accessible by others too:
sudo chmod -R u=rwX,go=rX /usr/local/bin I simply placed cd (change directory) in front of /usr/local/bin and it joshuafranklin@Joshuas-MBP bin % First time using mac to run python
