Gramps 5.2.4 Apple Silicon, macOS Sequoia 15.2 This is a new computer with few programs installed. An info window displays every time I start Gramps saying I should install [command line](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Command_Line) developer tools for git. Cancelling out of the info window seems to have no effect on Gramps. Should I install the [command line](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Command_Line) tools or will there be an update so the window will not appear? Full window text: “The ‘git’ command requires the [command line](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Command_Line) developer tools. Would you like to install the tools now? Choose install to download and install the [command line](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Command_Line) developer tools now.” Followed by [Cancel] and [Install] buttons. Gramps was downloaded from a link on the wiki page ([Download - Gramps](https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Download)) and installed by dragging the application to the Application directory. ---
