By the looks of the log you pasted, the problem is when calculating the path to the Downloads directory. We use ‘~/Downloads’ and use a function to expand that to the prover value, but I see it can fail if non-ASCII characters are present on your username. Is this the case? For example if my user was ‘saúl’ the directory would be /Users/saúl/Downloads, but it it were ‘saul’ it would be /Users/saul/Downloads.  The second won’t fail.

Can you confirm that your username has some non-ASCII character?It doesn’t look that way from your last reply, which is very surprising…


Cheers,
