GenieBuilder.jl errors out on startup under MacOS Catalina

[rswgnu]

Using the latest stable Julia release as of today on MacOS 10.15.7 (Catalina), I followed the instructions to setup GenieBuilder, wrote the token file required and then got this error. Maybe some other initialization is necessary that is not in the instructions. (I didn't do any of the manual repl setup or add julia to my PATH yet).

@rswgnu GenieBuilder is available as a plugin in the VSCode marketplace. The users don't need to are not expected to run things at the Julia REPL. Can you please detail what instructions you followed?

[rswgnu]

Hi:

I followed the instructions in the README.md file right here in this Github repo, but missed the first section and jumped right to the install section. Thanks for the clarification.

[essenciary]

Hehe, no worries, I just added the first section :)

Works correctly now? Can we close this issue?

[rswgnu]

I haven't had a chance to reinstall it but you can close this issue as the install procedure is different now.
