Running VeraPDF throws IllegalArgumentException

[bitsgalore]

When I tried to run VeraPDF I got this:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError at org.verapdf.apps.GreenfieldCliWrapper.main(GreenfieldCliWrapper.java:54) Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Arg root:/opt/OPF Carrus/resources/libs/veraPDF/config must be a writable directory. at org.verapdf.apps.Applications.createConfigManager(Applications.java:105) at org.verapdf.apps.Applications.createAppConfigManager(Applications.java:119) at org.verapdf.cli.VeraPdfCli.(VeraPdfCli.java:60) ... 1 more

The directory "/opt/OPF Carrus/resources/libs/veraPDF/config" requires root access for writing.

Side note: this also made me realise Carrus use system file paths that contain whitespace ("OPF Carrus"). I know these can be handled perfectly well when done properly, but not too sure if including them is such a good idea, because it could result in complications?

Tested on Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia (MATE desktop).
