If you are on macOS 10.15 Catalina, it's probably a permissions issue. See also ipfs-shipyard/npm-on-ipfs#119

@rex4539 thanks for helping out here. I doubt it's related to permissions, but it can be! This is not npm on ipfs, but the ipfs command line tool.

@samuelandert I also have Catalina and it works well here... what version do you have? Unfortunately, I don't have much info per the logs. I will see what I can do!

@hacdias yes, I am on Catalina 10.15
@rex4539 I tried the permissions, but it didn't changed anything.

@samuelandert this might seem stupid, but could you try running that command manually through the Terminal?

env ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 "/Applications/IPFS Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/IPFS Desktop" "/Applications/IPFS Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar/out/ipfs-on-path/scripts/install.js" --data="/Users/samuelandert/Library/Application Support/IPFS Desktop"

And show me the output please.

I'm closing this since we no longer got a reply from the author and I can't reproduce it on Catalina. However, if the issue persists, feel free to open a new issue.
