Open Sesame does not launch
I have downloaded and installed open sesame on my Mac but every time I try to open it and use the app the icon just bounces in the doc then disappears.
Howdy, Stranger!

Hi @milliechesterman ,
What happens if you start a terminal, and then launch OpenSesame from there? You can do that by executing the following command.
Do you see any error messages?

I suspect that the error that you get when launching from the console results from the Anaconda
baseenvironment that is activated. I suspect that this causes a confusion between the Python environment of the OpenSesame app and the Python environment from Anaconda. What happens if you first run:And then launch OpenSesame:
My guess is that you will still get an error message, but a different one.

Hello @sebastiaan ,
Thank you for your answer.
I tried what you said and here's what appears in the terminal :

@Daniel Does this look like the Big Sur issue to you?

I think this is the Big Sur issue. But @gbzn's last output is a bit strange, because it appears as if the ` conda deactivate` command is causing this error message. So either, it is not OpenSesame related, or he forgot to paste a (large) part of the actual console output.
@Daniel Thanks, I suspected it was Big Sur. (The command that triggers the error is actually the line after `conda deactivate`.)

Ah I see, I just misread it. This should be solved once we package OpenSesame with a python version greater than 3.7
Hello again,
Thank you for your answers although I'm still running macOS Yosemite ...
Hello again,
Did I need anaconda to launch OpenSesame on my mac ?
Because I tried to install it and launch OpenSesame with it as in the tutorial on the website but it still doesn't work. and now that i've uninstalled it, when I write "conda deactivate" in the terminal, it does this :

So I have really no idea what to do to make Open Sesame launch on my computer now...
Thanks in advance for your answers
same problem :(
did you find an answer?
Hi @Liliann_L and @gbzn ,
If you're running Mac OS Big Sur, then you can take a look at this post for a possible workaround.
If you're running a different version of Mac OS, then I don't know what causes the issue. In that case, you could consider installing OpenSesame through Anaconda instead of using the package:
Hope this helps!

Hey @sebastiaan,
just wanted to let you know that it seems to be a problem related to el capitan. I tried all the recommendations but nothing worked. Since I changed the system to catalina everything works fine!
Thank you for your help, anyway!
