I checked the permissions of the files and searched a lot but couldn’t find a way to solve this problem

>Solution :

You need to run with sudo, as stated in the installation instructions you linked. As you see, the error comes from trying to bind a socket to a port. Most probably it’s trying to use a privileged port (<1024), which can only be done with elevated permissions (ie sudo).
