Catalina won't allow me to install anything. Just creates alias's.
Sorry if this was asked before. Anyway, just got a new iMac and running Catalina and have to say I'm about ready to scream! How the **** do you install software on here? I've already had to use the terminal command to show in System Preferences the "allow apps downloaded from anywhere" to show? But even that still isn't working, even after a reboot.
What I've done:
Downloaded Affinity Photo
Get the .dmg folder
Open that and drag the application to "applications" folder
When I look in there it's created an alias and is pointing to the file that is in the .dmg
Same with other apps. Maybe I'm just not "with it" haven't had a new OS in a long time!!
Thanks in advance!
