Please use the latest version and try again. I don't think 0.95.1 is supported anymore.

 I have been following this thread, and doing the various terminal gymnastics requested by goatpig and DRoark, and I too get hte BDM error!, after everything has loaded and scanned, apparently correctly....except, I get this BDM error! pop-up that won't let me DO anything with my wallets.  I cannot access my wallets, even though all info is present on the screen, wallet name, amount of bitcoin held in wallet, and so on.  Maybe I should BLOCK POP-UPS?


I am quite frustrated. What happened? This is occurring with multiple users, so there must be something that changed on your end!

I love you goatpig, don't be angry with me. Also, Hi goatpig and DRoark... long time no talk.

When you go under /Applications/Armory.app/Contents/MacOS and run Armory ("./Armory"), what's the output?

 


 In this case I get a pop-up with a yellow triangle holding an exclamation mark, and the message "The DB has returned the following error:

DB version mismatch. Use another dbdir!

Armory will now shutdown.

What version of Armory are you using? What version of Armory where you using before that? If you updated recently, did you clear your previous database folder? The error you are getting is a trademark of running a new version of Armory on an older DB (0.94 vs 0.93 DB) or (0.95+ vs 0.94 DB).

[DigitalCrypto]

Please use the latest version and try again. I don't think 0.95.1 is supported anymore.

Nothing launches. The only version that launches is 0.92.1/3.

[droark]

No, what I mean is run the latest version from the command line, like I mentioned earlier. I listed it as being under /Applications but it can be anywhere. I need to know what it's saying when you try to launch a later version of Armory.

Tried with 0.96.1 (Didn't launch and gave me this message)

Interesting. Which model Macbook Pro are you using?

Hmmm. I really don't know what could be happening here. What the system is telling you is that there are instructions that your CPU doesn't recognize. I don't know why that would happen. Others seem to be running the binaries without issues. One thing I'll look into is my VM settings. It's possible my build VM needs to be told it has access to a different processor, or some other obscure setting. Hang tight. I'll do what I can.

In the meantime, if you don't mind getting your hands a little dirty, you can build your own version. I need to update the notes slightly but this should get you past the finish line.

I followed every step and I still got this...

No such file directory

Code:

cd osxbuild

Nearly there. If you haven't downloaded a copy of the Armory git repo (the code), you'll need to do that. Can either grab the zip and extract it or git clone if you're familiar with that.

Either way, once you have a copy of the code, cd to wherever the Armory code is.
Then run step 7 again:

Code:

cd osxbuild
python build-app.py > /dev/null

Compiling may take a little while
Fingers crossed!

[DigitalCrypto]

Nope.

[HCP]

Can you please enter this command and take a screenshot of the output:

Code:

ls -la

You're attempting to run these commands from your "user home directory" at the moment... you won't be able to build from that location. You will need to be in the directory where the Armory git was cloned to

Did you actually download the source code? And if so, where did you download and/or clone it to?

Seconded. DigitalCrypto, you need to follow all the instructions

[droark]

Okay. As part of my PR to let Armory build on 10.13, I clarified the build notes a bit. Look here and make sure you're following them. I think these are relatively bulletproof for newbs but feedback is appreciated. In any event, it's important that people know how to get around via the terminal. If they don't know what they're doing, it's still going to be painful.
