Works better, but still fails... I had to type into a terminal "sudo" and then drop the installer there, which resultet in that error after I hit install.
Isn't there a way to avoid all that command line stuff by getting a .pkg file, that would deal automatically with privileges, missing folders (by creating them if they don't exist) and so forth?
It seems you do all of it with Visual Studio and not Juce...

The Installation log:

The installer should work properly on macOS without requiring manual terminal commands or "sudo". It should detect your Apple Silicon GPU (M1/M2/M3/M4) and configure Metal Performance Shaders for better performance.

Regarding the .pkg: I'll work on converting the DMG to a proper macOS PKG installer in a second phase. Want to make sure the core installer works perfectly first before tackling packaging improvements.

Try the updated installer and let me know if you still encounter any issues.

Here is the (I hope) fixed version: https://github.com/innermost47/ai-dj/releases/tag/v58

Well, as long its a command line app it will open the command line and then it misses its permissions…
I am on the road at the moment. I‘ll check the new version soon…
I should learn to deal with these programming environments, then I could try to build it myself on my Mac…

Right-click the installer file → "Open" instead of double-clicking. This bypasses macOS Gatekeeper warnings.
Or if you downloaded it via browser, try:

Go to System Preferences → Security & Privacy
Look for a message about the blocked app
Click "Open Anyway"

The new version should work much better once you get past this initial macOS security prompt. No more terminal/sudo needed after that!
I'll work on the .pkg version soon which will eliminate these permission prompts entirely.

I've finally created a .pkg installer for macOS that handles permissions automatically and avoids all command line issues.
Latest release now has two macOS options:

OBSIDIAN-Neural-Installer-macOS.dmg (original)
OBSIDIAN-Neural-Installer-macOS.pkg - Just double-click! (I hope)

The .pkg installs everything to /usr/local/bin - no more sudo needed (I hope). Just run obsidian-neural from terminal after install.

Yes, this time everything went through, beside the expected necessity to get rid of the quarantine flag. The latest Sequoia seems not to allow opening it with a ctrl-click as Monterey still did, but I have a little tool installed that takes care of it easily...
Now I need to get into it. Not much time at the moment, lets see how far I get...

Thanks for your effort
