I've downloaded the Installer app directly from the Opera site several times, and each time it comes back and says it can't install Opera.
Currently running macOS Sonoma 14.1 on an M1.
iMac 24″, macOS 14.1
Just to add, Sonoma is now at 14.1.1. You should update. You might try installing Opera while in Safe Mode.
I just remembered something. Install The Unarchiver from the App Store and try opening the Opera .zip file with it.
What is the exact wording of the error message? The current version should install.
Well, I mention it because unzipping using the built-in Archive Manager has been known to cause corruption with certain .zip files.
Just the plain Opera browser. Not a gaming device or mobile app. I use ExpressZip for extracting zip / gz / rar files. Shouldn't make a difference I would think. But I will try a different one.
OK tried RAR Unarchiver. Interesting result. It extracted to a directory 'OperaSetup' which contains a directory 'Contents'. It seems to be the Contents when you open a .app
Contents
_CodeSignature
CodeResources
Info.plist
MacOS
PkgInfo
Resources
Will give your suggestion a shot.
OK, this looks better:
Well this seems to be working! Opera is now installed on the M1. Many thanks to all who went down this rabbit hole.
Hah. But now with the Sonoma upgrade I have to fiddle with Apache httpd.conf to get it working. Every time I do an upgrade I go through this. So I keep a copy of a working one, and replace the one Apple provides.
Not a textual message.
OK.Safe mode: no joy. Same same. Upgrading to 14.1.1 now.
On another (elder) iMac running Monterey Opera runs fine.
Upgraded to 14.1.1. Still same result. Boot into Safe Mode. Same same.
Are you trying to install Opera or Opera GX? I had no problem installing Opera.
I tried 2 others (1 paid) but both failed. That is a problem worth looking into I think.
Glad The Unarchiver worked. 😎
Opera is not installing in Sonoma
