    fromReleases: false,
    tempLocation: '../../temp/',
    ignoreFiles: ['./user_config.js', './logs/', './downloads/, ./temp/'],

I think i found the issue. I didn't have the right branch name.

BUT now I am also facing the issue mentioned here #6. What subdirectory should I use if I don't know my user's folders? @chegele

Both windows and Linux operating systems have designated locations for storing temporary files. That may be a good option.

Linux: /tmp
Windows: %temp%

Getting a different error just using "/temp" for MacOS

Are you able to manually execute deletion commands using the same id as your application? An error indicating that the operation is not permitted leads me to think you need elevated privileges to work in that directory.

I am not too familiar with MacOS.
