Description

Hello,

I've tried to install Keybase a few times now, and the application opens, but I just get the loading window. One time I clicked a link to open a conversation and I got a different window, which looks more like I would probably expect, but even that said "loading" and I could click some buttons but nothing really seemed to do anything, and there was no actual content, just a couple menu buttons and stuff. I tried to do keybase log send in terminal, too, and it said command "keybase" not found. I'm not sure what's going on. I'm running Mac, version 10.11.6. Maybe my OS is too old? Any insights anybody might have would be so much appreciated! Thank you!

Best,
--T

Research direction

Start by reproducing the loading-window behavior on macOS 10.11.6 and check whether the keybase log send command is available. Done means identifying the cause of the empty application windows or confirming that this macOS version is unsupported, with diagnostic details recorded for the report.
