Opening SimVascular on Mac error

Hello,
I've downloaded the SimVascular for mac but when I click to open it, it tries to do it and then closes immediately. The icon like jiggles on the bottom of the screen like it's trying to open it and then it just disappears. I've tried to delete and re-download it but the same thing happens. Has this happened to anyone or does anyone know what the problem is?
Thank you

Hi Paulina,
What version of MacOS are you using?
In a terminal run the following command
Code: Select all
/Applications/SimVascular.app/Contents/MacOS/SimVascular
and post what is output to the terminal. It might be that you are missing a system library that SV needs to run.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi David,
I'm using the newest version, macOS Catalina.
I ran the command and this is what I got.

Hi Paulina,
MacOS Catalina has a more strict security policy so it is not letting you execute the command from a terminal.
To allow any executable to run from the Terminal : select System Preferences -> Security & Privacy, and in the Privacy tab, scroll to the list for Developer Tools, check the Terminal app. Then restart the Terminal App and re-run the command.
Cheers,
Dave

But the website says that this is what I am supposed to see:

The error you were seeing before is related to the software used to display the SV Welcome page. This is a known issue on MacOS.
Curious that SV is now opening ...
We have not built SV on Catalina so there may be other issues. Please let me know if you have any other problems.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi David,
I'm also similar problems getting SimVascular to run on Mac (10.11.6 El Capitan) where the simvascular immediately crashes when the icon is clicked on.
When trying to run from terminal the following messages occur
Code: Select all

Check for non-core plugins in /usr/local/sv/svplugins/2019-08-09

Hi Ryan,
It looks like the Python library SV uses was built on MacOS 10.13 and is looking for a symbol that is not defined in MacOS 10.11. I will open an Issue on this.
You can upgrade your MacOS to 10.12 or later to solve this problem.
Cheers,
Dave
