Unable to install on OSX

Dev Community Apps & Creations

I unzip, drop the app in the apps folder, and nothing happens. In the log file I see the following errors:-

I’ve tried v 1.8 and 1.71 but same issue in both. Likely I’m being dense and there’s something I’m missing here and it’s not quite as simple as the PMP install?

I run OpenPHT on a Mac, no problems - you should be able to just drop the app into Applications, and that’s basically it…

Have you had previous builds of PHT or OpenPHT installed before? If so, you might want to try a clean install - delete the old PHT and OpenPHT apps and related library/resource/settings files and folders, then try a new install.

Also - check your folder permissions. Make sure you have full read/write permissions on folders on your Mac that OpenPHT needs… e.g., Check out this old PHT thread that describes what looks like a very similar issue to what you’re running into, with some possible solutions: https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/122008/plex-home-theater-simply-doesnt-work-on-my-mac
