Hi Edwin, that’s bad, sorry to hear that. I remember you’ve made a trac ticket in LyX bug tracker. There you’ve mentioned using LyX-2.3.6.2 on Monterey 12.4. Does it mean you’ve upgraded your OS from 12.4 to 12.6? Or is it a new system? JMarc is right (see the other answer), there is a possible problem with Python on Mac since OS 12.3… but it might be not your problem if you’ve installed it yet. > I downloaded your DMG file many time thinking that perhaps there was a > transmission error.

E.g. type /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx and hit enter and wait for any error message and post it here.
