macOS for Catalina and later require a couple of extra steps to install
QtIDE because of security changes to the OS. Try the following:
1. Download j902_mac64.zip from jsoftware. Unzip and place the folder in
your home directory.
2. Open a terminal in the j902 folder. Run
./macos-fix.command
3. Start jconsole using the jcon icon in the j902 folder.
4. In jconsole, run the following
load'pacman'
'install' jpkg '*'
All of the addons as well as the jqt binaries and Qt libraries will be
installed.
exit the terminal with exit''
5. Run jqt using the jqt icon in the j902 folder. After a bit, you should
see the jqt terminal.
You should be able to run the commands:
wd'version'
1.9.2/5.12.10(5.12.10)
9!:14''
j902/j64avx2/darwin/release-b/commercial/
