Hi, where do you have your LMMS from?
It is only LMMS from our site that should be installed!
For MAC the current recommended LMMS is:
10.13: https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/releases/d ... c10.13.dmg

10.14: https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/releases/d ... c10.14.dmg

Do also read: https://lmms.io/download#collapse_mac-pre

If you still have issues, do post here again!

Make sure you also check the macOS security settings (System Settings → Privacy & Security).It walks through the Gatekeeper step pretty well.

While you gather that info, check these common culprits:
Sometimes the fix is simpler than it seems. Before we dive into the deep logs, verify these three things:

Administrative Permissions: If you are on Windows, try running your Command Prompt or PowerShell as an Administrator (right-click the app icon and select "Run as administrator").

Path Variables: If you are trying to run a command like python, node, or npm and it says "command not found," the software might not be added to your system's Environment Variables (PATH).

Network/Firewall: Is there a corporate VPN or aggressive firewall blocking the download? Sometimes downloading installers requires a direct connection.

Hard to say without the exact error, but on macOS it’s usually permissions or missing dependencies. Make sure you installed everything it needs, and try running the command with proper permissions. If you can, share the error message, that’ll make it way easier to figure out.
