My problem was fixed by giving me ownership permissions over the Resources/library folder.

The way I solved it, was to go to Recovery Mode (Press Command + R when booting), then go to Utilities > Terminal.

I temporarily disabled the Configuring System Integrity Protection with (WARNING: REMEMBER TO ENABLE IT AFTERWARDS):

csrutil disable

Went back to macOS, right click on the library folder > Get Info > Sharing & Permissions > Click on the lock and enter your admin password > and added myself to read/write.

Restart the mac, enter Recovery Mode again, go to the terminal, and enable the Integrity Protection

csrutil enable

Hope it helps, and please, remember to re-enable the csrutil, your system is very vulnerable in that state, so if you suspect you have some kind of malware, don't use this solution.
