Hi Joe,

i agree with Sherlock, and let me elaborate the phrase "wrong DMG" a little.

Some Macbook Pros have intel CPUs. Some (including all of the more recent ones) have Apple Silicon CPUs (also known as "M1", "M4", or "ARM").

Which kind of CPU does your MacBook Pro have?  The answer lies under the Apple Menu, the "About this Mac" entry. A dialogue box pops up. If the line labelled "Chip" reads "Apple" something something, then your computer has an Apple Silicon CPU. If it reads "intel" something something, then your computer has an intel CPU.

On the main GnuCash web page, there are separate download links for "Apple macOS Apple Silicon" and "Apple macOS Intel". Be sure to choose the correct one for your computer.

Does this answer the question?

Best regards,
