To reproduce:
1. Install Unity (2018.1.0b11+ or 2018.2.0a7+) on Mac on external drive using Download Assistant.
2. Create a new project or open existing.
Actual result: Editor cannot be opened with an error message "Fail to start Unity Package Manager" (see screenshot attached).

Launching external process: /Applications/Unity 2018.2.0a7/Unity.app/Contents/Resources/PackageManager/Server/upm-macos
[Package Manager] Server::Start -- Cannot start server process [path: `/Applications/Unity 2018.2.0a7/Unity.app/Contents/Resources/PackageManager/Server/upm-macos`]

Permissions to file:

Permissions to file:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root admin 76224776 Mar 27 02:41 /Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/Resources/PackageManager/Server/upm-macos

Did you have webroot installed? It seems to think this file is a backdoor infection. It quarinteens it by blocking execution even if you don’t remove it.
