When I try to launch Autopkgr a blank window opens and just hangs. Does anyone know if there's something I need to do? I downloaded and installed version 1.6.

Thanks!

Please refer to the AutoPkgr release page: https://github.com/lindegroup/autopkgr/releases/tag/v1.6

  • Due to the fact that macOS no longer ships with Python, you will now need to install AutoPkg first on new Macs before installing AutoPkgr. This gives AutoPkgr the path to Python it needs to run smoothly. If you already have AutoPkg installed, you already have the built in Python that ships with AutoPkg and can just install AutoPkgr.

@grahamrpugh Thanks! I actually muddled through and figured that out by testing. :-)
