Hi - I've just installed MacTeX 2017 and tried to run TeX Live. At the prompt to enable authentication, I get the following error message, so am reporting it as requested. I'm using OS X 10.8.5:


2017-07-17 09:40:22 +0000 Notice -[TLMOperation main][93637]	/usr/texbin/tlmgr: Initialization failed (in setup_unix_one):
