Description

Hi, I have been receiving this error message while doing a fresh install of Keybase on the Mac: "There was an error trying to run the install (2). Please run 'keybase log send' to report the error." The options Quit and Ignore are presented. Tapping ignore just leaves the GUI with the keybase logo and 'loading...'.

Also, it does look like the CLI tool isn't installed at the moment.

My log id: 4e01722c030895f43f19481c

Any help would be really appreciated.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the reported installation error and the log referenced by ID 4e01722c030895f43f19481c, then reproduce a fresh Keybase install on macOS. Check the keybase log send path and the GUI state after choosing Ignore; done means the install completes, the CLI is present, and the GUI loads normally.
