Cannot run SQLiteStudio 3.2.1 on Mac OS Catalina? Stuck at choose language


I am a beginner. I've searched online for others with a similar issue but didn't get results. I am trying to learn SQL and the course I'm following is using SQLiteStudio.

I have downloaded the *.dmg file and installed but upon running the app, it asks to choose a language. I choose English(US) and say OK. it prompts again for language. over and over again. No matter what language I choose it will not progress.

I have deleted the app files and reinstalled, same issue.

https://github.com/pawelsalawa/sqlitestudio/releases/tag/3.2.1 is the download link and i am downloading InstallSQLiteStudio-3.2.1.dmg (installer) file.

I am on Mac OS Catalina, 10.15.1.


Solution

  • Thanks to Pawel we realized this was a permissions issue on Mac.

    I reset the permissions on my home folder and this solved the issue.

    I followed the steps in the reset permissions section of this link: apple support - reset home permissions

    Posting the answer in case anyone else has the same issue.
