it looks like it's about permission, how can I handle permission in WebStorm.

Answer 1

You can't handle permissions in WebStorm (and this actually has nothing to do with the IDE). Such errors usually mean that the .config folder in your HOME is not owned by you, so you have no permissions to write to it. Check if your user (the one you run WebStorm with) has the right privileges in ~/.config, and give it the needed permissions ( sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.config )
