Issue with Desktop installation Mac (Intel)

[itsnilskerwer]

Hi,

(Disclaimer: I've never used Wolfram Language before so i might be simply missing something. )

After downloading the Wolfram engine, and the wljs notebook desktop app, it seems like everything has started fine. I am now stuck at this screen "Starting server" for quite some time...

Mac os: Ventura 13.6.6 Wolfram engine version: 14.1 for Mac OS X x86 Wolfram js notebook version: 2.5.6

Expected: Re-direct to authenticate with wolfram cloud (i haven't done the signup with wolfram yet - just freshly downloaded the engine and the notebook).

TRY Started! app

[JerryI]

Hi @itsnilskerwer, It puzzles me a bit, since I am also using OSX.

However, the activation can be done manually: Could you, please, try to run wolframscript directly?

open a terminal

wolframscript

it should print some message about license activation I believe. Then it can be activated on the same page, where you downloaded Wolfram Engine (after clicking download it should redirect to a corresponding page)

After that, you can run wolframscript again with -activate flag

wolframscript -activate

and enter you login/pass. After that you can kill a terminal and start WLJS Notebook normally.

[itsnilskerwer]

This worked. Thank you for your time.

[JerryI]

Great! I will keep it as an issue, until we fix it in the app

[HaoxuanGuo]

I got the same problem with Apple Silicon. Manually activate doesn't work for me.

[JerryI]

@HaoxuanGuo I believe it is still different, since it managed to reach "In".

Could you, please, try restart and click DEBUG button? Then after exiting an app it will generate a log file

[HaoxuanGuo]

System.log @JerryI Here's the log.

[JerryI]

System.log @JerryI Here's the log.

Thanks! If you just open your terminal and run wolframscript does it work properly?

PS: I tested on M1 (WEngine 14.1)

[HaoxuanGuo]

@JerryI It works sometimes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it crashes with license error.

[HaoxuanGuo]

@JerryI Sometimes, and sometimes...

[JerryI]

Hm. Then this is a problem within wolframscript. Please, check in Activity Monitor if you have other instances of Wolfram Kernel running. There is a license limitation to just 2 processes on the same machine (or account) from WR. If it still does not work:

a. reboot mac (might help)

b. 1. uninstall Wolfram Engine

2. reinstall in using homebrew

[JerryI]

Today I had the same issue

Wolfram Kernel crashed repeatedly. Then, when I opened a terminal and run wolframscript

it thrown some info about activation and then WLJS App started to work again. I believe this is somewhat related to Wolfram Kernel issue :(

[HaoxuanGuo]

@JerryI I have tried both kill, reboot or reinstall. But none of them worked.

[JerryI]

Might work in October release

[JerryI]

Please reopen this as a new issue
