 * When I try to load WP 4.0 I get the following error:
 * The update cannot be installed because we will be unable to copy some files. 
   This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.: wp-includes/js/media-audiovideo.
   min.js, wp-includes/js/customize-preview.min.js, wp-includes/js/media-views.min.
   js, wp-includes/js/autosave.min.js, wp-includes/js/utils.js, wp-includes/js/customize-
   preview.js, wp-includes/j……… s/canonical.php, wp-includes/ms-load.php, wp-includes/
   update.php, wp-includes/comment.php Installation Failed.
 * I have no idea what to do now. Seems like everything is conflicting. Could use
   some help.
 * Thanks

 * Seems like a permission issue to me. For some reason your web server is unable
   to write inside your wp-content/themes directory.
 * If you have access to ssh, change the permission of the directory
 * chown -R www-data:www-data /path/of/wordpress/wp-content/themes
 * If you are on a shared server then you need to contact your hosting provider 
   regarding the issue.
 * ~ Cheers!
