Description

After the attempt to log in I get the message "There was an error provisioning, Unknown error: Error: GPG is unavailable on this device.

Gnupg has been installed and resides in /usr/local/bin as gpg2. I've made an softlink to gpg in /usr/local/bin but it didn't help either. I've noticed this issue during installation as well but there I've replaced the ocurrences of gpg with gpg2.

Research direction

The report concerns login provisioning on macOS and a missing gpg or gpg2 executable. Start by reproducing the login attempt with GnuPG installed at /usr/local/bin, then trace how the app checks for GPG; done means provisioning recognizes the installed executable.
