The application "p5" can't be opened

shota-aizawa commented 9 years ago

My mac has OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.5 and I downloaded a mac editor at the version of 0.5.2. Moved it to an application folder and opened it and got an error message saying "The application "p5" can't be opened". I tried older version of mac editors, but it did not work at all. How can I fix this problem? Thank you.

Same problem here.

I noticed that the "nwjs" file in MacOS is not set to executable. When I set the correct permissions, I get this error:

Does it say it's "from an untrusted developer?" If so, my understanding is that this is just what Yosemite does for all applications that don't go through Apple.

If you right-click and select "open" from the right-click menu, then you should be able to open it. After you do that, double clicking to open should work.

It's saying "The Application p5 can't be opened". The problem is that the "nwjs" is not set to executable for some reason

Actually all executables in "Frameworks" also, does not have the correct "+x" permissions, I guess someone who has zipped the packages has messed the permissions somehow. Setting "chmod +x" to all files in all MacOS folders manually fixes the issue.

Not sure what's going on here. What are your system specs?

I am on OSX El Capitan 10.11.1

Reading on couple of places, a ZIP archive is not a very good way to keep the correct permissions, I guess keeping the OSX app in a tar.gz, made on OSX is the better option.

Same problem here. On OS X El Capitan 10.11.1

I tried to make executable the file in MacOS folder with the "chmod +x" command, but it didn't work for me.Then i tried to log in with a different mac User account and I downloaded it again. It works fine in this account. I suppose it has something to do with my user's settings. It's strange.
