#211 Project Libre for MAC does not start

[Ray Webb]

I have downloaded Project Libre 1.9.8 for a MAC which has Tahoe 26.5.1 O.S. and Apple M5 chip and but after dowloading and accepting the message about ok to dowlosad the file from the internet, the program will not open.
Previous version worked fine.
I have tried restarting my MAC but the program will not open.
Pleaase advise
Regards
Ray

in terminal, install required dependency
$ brew install harfbuzz

also check if macos is quarantining
$ xattr -l /Applications/ProjectLibre.app

if you see something like com.apple.quarantine
$ sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ProjectLibre.app
( you may need to add terminal to the list of applications that can modify other applications in Settings-> Privacy & Security -> App Management
