You will not have file system permissions to write into the default locations for the Material Archive. Instead, you should:

1. Create a local directory for your Repository in which the MaterialArchive lives
2. Copy the files from the Tracer install location's MaterialArchive folder to that local directory (see example commands below).
3. Optionally copy the files from the Additional Supplemental Materials Files folder to that local directory
4. In the File → Properties menu dialogue, click on the Archives Directories tab and set the directory you created as the Material Archive Local and Repository Directory.

After making the above changes, you may have to expand/collapse the tree in the left pane of TRACER a few times.

$ mkdir -p ~/Repository/MaterialArchive
 
# Determine the TRACER version number with:
$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/TRACER
 
# Substitute in the version number for <version_number>
$ rsync -av /opt/local/TRACER/<version_number>/bin/Repository/MaterialArchive/ ~/Repository/MaterialArchive/

# Optionally copy the additional CNF Materials Archive files
$ rsync -av /usr/local/cnf/tracer/MaterialArchive/ ~/Repository/MaterialArchive 

# For example:
ls -l /etc/alternatives/TRACER

# Gives output:
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 34 Sep 17  2020 /etc/alternatives/TRACER -> /opt/local/TRACER/2.11.1/run_TRACER

# The set of numbers between "TRACER/" and "/run_TRACER" is the version number.
rsync -av /opt/local/TRACER/2.11.1/bin/Repository/MaterialArchive/ ~/Repository/MaterialArchive/

# The above rsync command will fail if the ~/Repository/MaterialArchive/ folder does not exist. Don't forget to first:
mkdir -p ~/Repository/MaterialArchive

# Optionally copy the additional CNF Materials Archive files
$ rsync -av /usr/local/cnf/tracer/MaterialArchive/ ~/Repository/MaterialArchive
