My computer is running on MacOS Catalina 10.15.1 (19B88).

I installed Geany from https://download.geany.org/geany-1.36_osx.dmg. However, 
every time I attempt to launch Geany, it would just automatically close itself. 
When I execute `/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany` from the command 
line, the result is:
```
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 17: dirname: command not 
found
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 18: basename: command not 
found
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 30: basename: command not 
found
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 31: dirname: command not 
found
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 32: dirname: command not 
found
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 33: dirname: command not 
found
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 61: defaults: command not 
found
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 89: /Contents/MacOS/-bin: No 
such file or directory
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 89: exec: 
/Contents/MacOS/-bin: cannot execute: No such file or directory
```

So far I have found a workaround. After launching Geany at least once (to avoid 
the "app is damaged" error message), one can remove the `-l` from the first 
line of `/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany`, `#!/bin/bash -l`. This 
would allow Geany to launch without issues.
