I'm guessing you're using the homebrew version of osquery? you might need to create /var/osquery if it doesn't exist

I actually just downloaded it from the official wesite
/var/osquery
does exist

hmm then that is strange and im not sure i have a good explanation for you. Try launching with
sudo osqueryd --verbose
for more context
