Rhino8 won't run after installation on MacBook Air

Hi everyone,

I have upgraded to Rhino 8 from version 7 today, and now the app won’t open. I get a message saying that rhino8 can’t open. I have reinstalled the app and rebooted as well and check system requirements and compatible OS version. Everything seems fine. I have also checked the “Privacy & Security” settings in case I need to give Rhino permission to my system, but it doesn’t show up there.

(Macbook Air M2, Sequoia 15.2, 16GB RAM)

Anyone had any similar issues?

Thanks for the help Patrik.

Hi Patrik -
Which version of Rhino 8 are you trying to install?
In Rhino 7, please run the SystemInfo command and copy-paste the output here.
-wim

Hi Wim,

I have installed 8.15.25013.

See systemInfo below.

Thanks,
Patrik

Hi Wim,

Did you get a chance to have a look at my issue?

Thanks,
Patrik

Hej Patrik -

Can you post a screenshot of that message?

What happens when you only use the laptop’s screen and disconnect anything else?
-wim

Hi Wim, I downloaded a newer version from your site and it works now.

Thanks for the help.
Patrik
