Downloaded MCreator and moved it from the disk to my Applications folder. Clicked on mcreator.command and it only showed up with the terminal window and listed a bunch of things. I then typed "brew reinstall libpng" like the instructions (from the MAC installation tutorial) said and it half-launched MCreator. I'm now stuck on "Initializing Workspace System" and it's been like that for a while. I've redownloaded MCreator multiple times and it still shows the same thing. Here's what the terminal window says. If I close the terminal window so does the PYLO screen.

Issue comments
Don't know if anyone else is having an issue opening MCreator on a Mac, but let me show how I have to do it in case someone in the future needs help. Btw MCreator is in my applications folder.
Right click on the MCreator application,
- click "Show package contents",
- open the "Contents" folder,
- go into the "Mac OS" folder,
- right click the MCreator executable,
- click "open".
You can also see your plugins folder next to the executable so now you know where to put your MCreator plugins.
Don't move MCreator to the Applications folder. It is not writable by a normal user by default. From install instructions:
Place the folder somewhere else and it should work. We will bundle MCreator in true Mac app in the future, but for now, don't use Applications folder.
