Gramps 6.0.8 | MacOS Tahoe 26.4

I’ve tried installing Gramps a number of times (application package), all with the same results: The app opens, bounces once in the launch bar, and closes. I don’t see anything in the logs, and can’t find reference to this on this forum. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

There’s two versions of the installer - one for Intel based Macs and one for Apple silicon (ARM).
Running Tahoe you should use the ARM version

Yes, thanks. I did use the ARM version, which acted as I described. And I can confirm that I am on an Apple Silicon (M1) Mac.

The next step should be to start Gramps from a terminal window using this command:

/Applications/Gramps.app/Contents/MacOS/Gramps --debug=“”

Hopefully the problem will be shown in the terminal window.

Thanks.
