How to repair permissions in High Sierra

When I was running Sierra, I used Riparacapo to repair permissions. However, it doesn't work with High Sierra.


Would anyone know how to repair permissions in High Sierra.


TIA

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13)

My knowledge of things Mac doesn't go that far. But it's my experience that when these things happened before (even before repair permissions was taken away), repairing permissions always did the trick. Riparacapo worked well under Sierra, but they haven't updated it. And the changing of the color of some of the folders (which I use to color-code things) really messed some of things here!
