P5-mac v0.6.2 doesn't open

Open orgicus opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

I've replaced the older p5.app with the latest when I got prompted about the update, but the new p5.app doesn't run. It displays this dialog:

The application "p5.app" can't be opened.

I've tried opening the app from Terminal, but this didn't work either. At least it display more info:

can you try right clicking and then clicking "open"

Hi Lauren,

I get the same "The application "p5.app" can't be opened." error alert dialog.

The strange thing is that I've downloaded a couple of older versions of the p5 editor and still get the same error (and I remember they used to work).

I haven't updated OSX (still on 10.11.5). Not sure what changed on the system to cause this issues :/

hmm I wish I could help more. we are deprecating the editor at the end of the year and ending support for it, so it may be best to try an alternative like brackets, atom, or sublime.

No worries and thank you for the updated. I'm already digging the alpha web editor! :)

I've been using p5.js more and more recently for stackoverflow answers.

Looking forward to see more awesome features p5.js!
