Mac OSX Figaro-5.0.0.0-2.11-osx-installer install file error

[adamkk]

Dear Figaro Team,

No luck when installing Figaro 5 on Mac OS X / both with Scala 2.12 and 2.11. No installation is successful.
Error message: The application "figaro-5.0.0.0-2.12-osx-installer.app" can not be opened; It may be damaged or incomplete.

Tried a few times on different macs and no success. Please check if anyone can install these on their computers.
Thanks !
Best,

Hello @adamkk and thank you for your interest in Figaro! We apologize for the inconvenience and are looking into the problem on our side. While I do that, can you let me know some specifics about the Mac(s) you tried to install on? Also, can you try downloading the installer more than once and ensure the app isn't getting corrupted during download? Anything you can add is appreciated.....

The Mac installers were downloaded and validated and found to be working. Please attempt to download the installer again, perhaps from another location or connection to be sure the file downloads completely and successfully.

Thanks !
I have changed the unzip file manager from "The Unarchiver" to "Archive Tool App (ver. 10.10)". This first file manger was causing install file error.

Yet, after Figaro folder is successfully placed in Applications, I cannot see the app itself. Only folders:
doc
examples
fat-jar
lib
LICENSE
rollbackBackupDirectory
src
uninstall.app

When can I find Figaro app itself?
Best,

Hello @adamkk glad to hear that the installer has worked. However, Figaro itself is not an application, but a library and its dependencies that can be integrated into an application that needs its probabilistic programming features.

Hi, what can I do next to run Figaro as if it was an application?

I would start with the Figaro Quick Start Guide and Figaro Tutorial (in the /doc sub-directory of your Figaro installation) to get a good understanding of Figaro and how it's used. After that, I recommend the Figaro Work project, which is an SBT (Simple Build Tool) project that you can use to start building an application based on Figaro. You can find the download for the Figaro Work project here: https://www.cra.com/work/case-studies/figaro. You'll also need working knowledge of the Scala programming language in order to effectively use and integrate Figaro models. If you'd like to delve more deeply into Figaro, it's author and creator, Dr. Avi Pfeffer, has published a wonderful book on the subject: https://www.cra.com/company/news/new-book-practical-probabilistic-programming-released-charles-river-analytics-principal

Please let us know how things go and if we can be of more assistance.
