      Here's one possible fix. Run the Terminal application (if you're not sure how, click the magnifying glass in the top right, type Terminal, and select the first result). In the window that appears, paste in the following line and press enter; this should correct the ownership of a folder that Stardew Valley needs to write under.

      sudo chown -v "$USER" ~/.config

      You'll probably be prompted for your password by the above command, and then it'll output something like /Users/yournamehere/.config. Try running Stardew Valley again, and hopefully it'll work this time.
