Fatal error: Uncaught RuntimeException: Unable to write in the "cache" directory about cli

Had similar error, Make sure you are running the correct version of php.

@anavarre @martineziortz do you know what PHP versions cause this? Are you able to provide the output of php -i? I couldn't reproduce with PHP 7.2 or 7.4, the oldest and newest supported versions (technically 7.3 is the minimum for ACLI).

It makes sense that you'd get an error trying to write to the cache directory within the phar, since phars are read-only. But I don't understand why ACLI / Symfony is trying to write to the cache. We fully warm the cache with each release.

User is forbidden write access to /usr/local/bin

BTW this is not a problem, just put the binary somewhere else.

Unexpected, but it seems the issue happens only with PHP 7.1 - Not compatible with Acquia CLI and EOL'ed anyway.

Thanks, I wasn't able to confirm but I trust that PHP version was the problem.

We can't support PHP 7.1, but we can at least make it fail gracefully: #222
