Thanks for the feedback.

Currently, GTFS-to-HTML tries to make an html directory in whatever path you are running gtfs-to-html from. If you run it from the system root / it will throw this error as your user may not have permission to create a folder there.

Try running from a path where your user has permission to create folders: cd ~

I'm going to work on a fix for this to use a temp folder if the current directory isn't somewhere you can write to.

I just published an updated version of GTFS-to-HTML that has a better warning for when you run it in a directory that isn't writable. https://github.com/BlinkTagInc/gtfs-to-html/releases/tag/2.1.9

outstanding - thank you.

I was able to get it up and running higher up in my user folder instead.
