I downloaded the software for my platform but I cannot open it up! I don’t know how to open up the download.Do I log back in to Pixinsight and try to open from there? I’m fried on trying to open the download…Anyone know how to help
@@AstroVagabond I downloaded Version 1.8.9-1 for my mac OS. I was successful in pulling the download from the distribution system but nothing opened up and I can’t get anything to open up.
So I see this at the PixInsight link "If you have a previous version of PixInsight already installed, you must uninstall it by moving the /Applications/PixInsight folder to trash. Just run the .pkg installation package and follow the instructions." Then I found this "How do I run a PKG file on a Mac? pkg file. Navigate to the folder that contains the file and open it to launch the installation program or drag the icon to your Application folder. The Introduction screen indicates the target location for the installatio"
OK!🎉I had to re enter a long code x 2 to activate the license download.This was after pulling the Mac OS download from the Pixinsight portal.I tried this earlier this morning but apparently I must have missed a number or letter because it didn’t go through.This afternoon I tried the two long codes and it took,the software started to download everything.That said I think I’m looking at an installed Pixinsight on my Mac…Thank you for the input and I hope what I have written helps someone else down the road.Cheers
This was incredibly useful and I appreciate you sharing this!
Glad it was helpful! I'm glad I decided to do the trial. Let me know what you think once you start to work with the trial!
How long will it take for them to email me with the links?
I don't recall it has been a while. Have you received the mails yet?
@@AstroVagabond No I Did it Like 2 days ago and they did not send me the email
@@cpdudeyt I'm going to get a free download now. So, can I ask you the same question to you unless you haven't got an email from pisinsight yet.

What platform are you using? What is the extension for the file you downloaded?
