FYI:
I see the 'failed to save config file' bug was closed but I experienced it with a fresh install on the latest macOS using the following command:
curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash
The previously suggested fix worked.

You missed the whole template 
Is there a reason you deleted it and choose not to use it?
Sorry, just figured it was cut and dry since my experience was identical to the previously reported bug. Happy to provide more details if it would be helpful. It has occurred on the last 2 installs (CentOS and macOS).
Have no idea what version you are running or any details. That’s why we have the template and as it grabs all the relevant info and things are unfortunately never cut and dry.
