It's a little hard to help with Mac-related problems because most of the developer-minded people (like Edward and myself) don't have Macs to try things out on. Most of the people with Macs seem to be more like you - user-minded rather than developer-minded.
You could try searching through the threads on this group using the search box at upper right. I tried "install mac" and got a number of hits, one of which is this one: https://groups.google.com/g/leo-editor/c/GgYQNRQed9o/m/LMTLC6sZAgAJ. I also found Using MacPorts to deploy Leo on macOS computers <https://groups.google.com/g/leo-editor/c/EvghiMcKte0/m/1z-2kCioBQAJ> using the search phrase "installing leo on Macs". Other people have wrestled with Mac installation problems and you may find something that applies directly to you. I also tried an on-line search for "problems installing leo on Macs" and saw this: How to install Leo under M1 chip macOS 12 <https://blog.zoomquiet.io/leo-install-m1mac-summary.html>. Note that this post is a little out of date: you need to use pyqt6 instead of pyqt5; the python version it uses is not the current one. But it might help you if you remember to adjust those little version-related kinds of things. HTH On Wednesday, May 15, 2024 at 7:54:28 AM UTC-4 andyjim wrote: > I spoke from frustration, sir.
