Platform: MacOS Sierra v10.12.3

@esacci Sorry for this.

Could you please to manually do what the update installer does by typing into in a terminal window:

$ "/Users/<#>/anaconda3/envs/cate-env/bin/activate" "/Users/<#>/anaconda3/envs/cate-env"; exec cate --version

and kindly providing the output here?

Does /Users/<#>/anaconda3/envs/cate-env/bin/activate exist?

[esacci]

Hi,

fyi - I've since tried to do an "Install a new Cate" with a similar failure, following a machine reboot.

I typed in the text as advised above and got the following:
MAC-EOP-2470:~ <#>$ "/Users/<#>/anaconda3/envs/cate-env/bin/activate" "/Users/<#>/anaconda3/envs/cate-env"; exec cate --version
-bash: /Users/<#>/anaconda3/envs/cate-env/bin/activate: Permission denied
-bash: exec: cate: not found

Yes, I notice /Users/<#>/anaconda3/envs/cate-env/bin/activate does exist:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 <#> staff 141 27 Sep 13:46 activate

[esacci]

Should / could I try removing previous versions?

[esacci]

I attempted a clean install as follows, but it failed:

@esacci we cannot reproduce it on our Mac. Updating and fresh installation, both work as expected. Do you have time for a Skype session?

[forman]

@esacci can you please try just the activation part:

"/Users/<#>/anaconda3/envs/cate-env/bin/activate" "/Users/<#>/anaconda3/envs/cate-env"

EDIT:

Sorry I forgot to "source":

source "/Users/<#>/anaconda3/envs/cate-env/bin/activate" "/Users/<#>/anaconda3/envs/cate-env"

The issue was there was a second (and older) cate installation was found in ~/.local directory. This version of cate was somehow preferred to the newer one although the directory was not positioned as the first entry in the $PATH. After the removal of the second installation, Cate Desktop used always the right cate installation. We still need to investigate how cate is installed in .local directory.
