Set read write permissions for the folder. Depending on how you are using your system you may need to set the permissions to 777 while installing. Remember to set it correct after the installation process.
sudo chmod 777 /Applications/C3System or sudo chmod 755 /Applications/C3System

Download and copy the installation file "c3fire-v4.0.5.2-install-mac.tgz" to the install folder and go to that folder.
