Not showing in Applications folder #3

I downloaded all the files I need, and it appears to install correctly. However it doesn't show up in my Applications folder. I'm on macOS Mojave, and there's no errors given.

Sorry about your troubles, but thank you for opening an issue. Could you please provide the following information:

name, file type (or folder), and location of each component (game files, installer, support files) on your computer
the method you used to provide to the installer the game files and support files (automatic detection, drag and drop on icon, or selected through dialog window)
if possible, the messages that appear at each step of the installation
the contents given when pressing the Details button in the final window
amount of free space on your hard drive
location of the installer once finished
what, if anything, happens when you click the Play button

Thanks!

It appears to be fixed after I moved the .app to /Applications. You might want to consider adding that to the README. Now my only issue is with WINE and the keyboard. Thanks!

@CobreDev I'm glad you got it working! The installer should move itself (Among Us Installer.app) and the the game (Among Us.app) to /Applications automatically, so I'm curious what went wrong. From where did you run the installer, and where did its .app and the game .app end up afterward, before you moved them? This and any of the above information you can provide would be very helpful for others. Thanks!

The installer worked fine for me (I'm using macOS 10.14.6). The app ends up in the system-wide applications folder. Perhaps you need to run it as admin, since copying apps to that folder needs admin.

Aha! Good observation. Thanks for testing that out!

Edit: This does indeed appear to be the case. I'll add a note to the readme and see about updating the workflow in the installer as well. @CobreDev, could you confirm whether the user account you used to install the game has admin privileges?

I know in AppleScript, you can type do shell script "/path/to/script.sh" with administrator privileges to run the shell script as root, which will make the system password prompt appear.
