I've been unable to spend time on Leo much this year. Hoping to get back 
into it soon.

Just got a new Mac and was unable to install Leo after 2 hours of trying.

This isn't surprising, I always have trouble installing it. On Windows I 
just use the 5.3 Quick Install, was never able to get it to work from 
source.

I am able to run Leo, it opens the default file. However, the menus don't 
work. Any ideas what the issue is?

I think the number one issue facing getting more users to use Leo is how 
hard it is to install. I think it is only really installable for python 
developers who already have all the dependencies. 

I installed Anaconda first, no luck. I didn't keep a log of all of the 
twists and turns of trying to install it. At one point I installed with pip 
and got errors, something about wrong version of Qt (my version is more 
recent).

I installed Qt separately, not clear if that is necessary. The Qt folder 
takes 22 GB. I'd like to delete that.

Version 6.0. 

Someone who knows the code needs to do a fresh install and find out what 
exactly is needed for an install and update the installation page. The 
Quick Install for Windows approach is best, in that case there isn't any 
"install SIP from sources" steps, you just download a folder and run. Leo 
is never going to see widespread adoption with this kind of installation 
procedure.
