zhmakeindex is denied when to make Chinese index with imakeidx

Question

First an MWE is as follows.

\documentclass{ctexart}

\usepackage{imakeidx}
\usepackage[colorlinks,linkcolor=blue]{hyperref}

\makeatletter
\def\imki@progdefault{zhmakeindex}
\makeatother

\makeindex


\begin{document}

    测试三角形\index{三角形}
    
    测试二次曲线\index{二次曲线}
    
    向量\index{向量}
    
    共线\index{共线}
    
    简比\index{简比}

    \printindex
\end{document}

As you see, I use zhmakeindex to make Chinese index with imakeidx as above. Before compiling the tex file, I download the bin file from the link since when I input uname -a in the terminal on my Macbook Pro it produces the information as follows

Darwin Kernel Version 18.7.0: Tue Jun 22 19:37:08 PDT 2021;
root:xnu-4903.278.70~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

and then add the bin file into the following folder where the makeindex locates

/usr/local/texlive/2022/bin/universal-darwin/

I compile the tex file by XeLaTeX with -shell-escape option, but it says

sh: /Library/TeX/texbin/zhmakeindex: Permission denied

and produces the index page on which the index entries are in occurrence order but not in Chinese pinyin alphabet order.

So what's wrong or what I missed? Not install Go programming language on my Macbook, or something else?

Answer 1

The message means that you didn't apply “execute” permissions to the binary file.

From your terminal issue

sudo chmod a+x /Library/TeX/texbin/zhmakeindex

and you'll be OK, so long as you call xelatex (or other engine) with the -shell-escape option (because zhmakeindex is not in the allowed list for the restricted shell-escape).

_{Quite likely, macOS will reject the first attempt to run the program. Do as usual when you trust the source: Security settings panel in System Preferences, click “Allow anyway” and rerun, clicking “Open” at the next pop-up window.}
