Cannot install Gretl in my MacBook Pro

  • I am using a Macbook and installed macOS with Ventura (13.0)


• Then I tried to instal Gretl latest update (Nov 1st release) but on the installing process a message came up that Gretl tried to access your folder (something similar to) but I accidentally pressed NO button 

  • Since then, I am getting an error message when trying to install Gretl
  • Appreciate your help,

Thank you,

Fazeel


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 13.0

Yes. We realize that. But if you don’t know what you clicked on, how are we supposed to figure it out instead?


Maybe go to System Settings > Privacy and Security and look through various settings like Files and Folders and see if there is some setting where the Greek installer helper (whatever that might be named) has been denied access to something. Give it access and try again.


There are instructions available here: https://gretl.sourceforge.net/osx.html


Just so you know, you probably shouldn’t rely on this software. If they don’t understand basic things at this level, what else don’t they understand?
