Ok, yes, that fixed it! At least the error is now gone. The Indi control panel doesn't open, but I need to review a few things to see if I've missed something else. Does the Indi control panel only open if devices have been configured with Ekos?
Thanks again!

Thanks, yes, that has been my process, to drag to the Applications folder in the window, as you say. Kstars does go to that folder correctly, but the other folders for Indi (as shown in the Preference window) are not created or the files installed. Kstars does run fine, except fo the Indi error.

Hello Wouter,
I downloaded the Kstars dmg from the site and also downloaded the md5 and sha256 tho there are no instructions about how they are used.
From the download folder I double clicked the dmg and got the Kstars drag window and the mounted Kstars disk. I did read the Read First and the copyright info. I drug the Kstars to the App folder on the window.
When I launch I get this message.
Kstars seems to run fine otherwise, but the Indi menu doesn't open.
The Kstars preferences shows what must be the expected folders.
I have searched for these folders and files, they aren't there.
So maybe I missed a step somewhere!
Thanks

I'm not sure which forum my question should go to. I'm wondering if there is a standalone installer for the indi library that works with Kstars on a Mac with Catalina. I have tried installing Kstars but at launch get a message that the Indi library is not found on the default path. I've looked thru the folder and searched for indi file, nothing is found. I've read the attached doc with the installer which makes reference of several files such as preferences, none are found.
So the installation didn't include Indi. I'm wondering if there is a separate Indi installer that would work with the Kstars installation.
Thanks

I installed KStars on MBP with Catalina. Launching it I get a message that the Indi library is not found on the usr/local/... directory and to set the localtion in the Setting of KStars. I've looked thru al the folders such as library and system and others. searched for indi and indilib files, they aren't found anywhere I can see. I've read the hellp doc available with the KStars install which mentions other files, I'm not finding any other them. I 've tried the install three times and am the administrator of the computer. Is there and Indi installer somewhere that installs just that portion separately? The KStars installer isn't working as is.
