Orange 3.22.0 is the last version I can open in Mac OS 10.11.06 #4446

Closed lawrencerowland closed 4 years ago

Describe the bug Orange 3.23.1 and 3.24.1 fail to open when installed on Mac OS 10.11.06. Installation is okay. When opening for the first time, The icon appears, and then disappears after a few seconds, without error report.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. Go to archive of previous download files
  2. Download dmg file
  3. Open dmg, install by moving to app folder.
  4. Click to open Orange in app folder.

Orange version: Orange 3.23.1 and 3.24.1 I have gone back to 3.22 and that is working fine.

Expected behavior I expected Orange window to open.

Operating system: Mac OS 10.11.06

Additional context Clearly this is a pretty old OS, and you may wish to close this as an issue - because there is no need you should support this far back. For myself, I can still use Orange on one machine, but not on this older machine which I use as a laptop. I have used several older versions of Orange with success through the first half of 2019.

You can try running:

/Applications/Orange3.app/Contents/MacOS/pip install pyqt5~=5.9.0

from the terminal after dragging the app to 'Applications' folder to downgrade the contained Qt library. This should make the 3.24.1 version work on macOS 10.11.06.

Many thanks for this. I tried it, but it didnt work on my machine, although it got further. Issue should stay closed - there is no need to support this old machine! I will have another go next week, and may try to install it with pip this time - to see what is happening.

For the record on this one. I downloaded Orange 3.24.1 this time via Conda. I then followed the instruction above. This was the error I got, in case any one has the same problem. (I will reinstall Orange 3.22- it still does a lot!)
