This question is very similar to this thread ErrNo 13.

Error no. 13 mainly happens due to not having permissions to perform the task or the command executed at OS level.

You can try changing the folder structure from

/dir1/dir2

to

dir1/dir2

as suggested by user mjp in here.

Or you can use

sudo

to overcome this.
