Answer 1

You need to enable auto_cd. Add this to your ~/.zshrc:

setopt auto_cd

Answer 2

If you execute the command /Users/myname, it doesn't make sense, it's like asking a folder to execute.

You probably want to change directory, so cd /Users/myname

Answer 3

Use following command and enter password when promoted (Administrator mode)

sudo su

After this you can run script which is showing permission denied messages while accessing any directory or file
