It doesn't start from my non-admin account - message is displayed *"You 
can't open the application "%@" because it may be damaged or incomplete."* 
Yet Couchbase starts successfully from if I start it from the command line 
using an administrator account. In addition not all the menu options under 
the Couchbase icon work, e.g. *Open Admin Console* or *About Couchbase 
Server*.

And there’s no need to run Sync Gateway from an admin account (whether or

Thanks for the walrus info. I installed Couchbase Server and Sync Gateway 
locally as I expect I will use both in production/when my app is released.
