My computer is running on MacOS Catalina 10.15.1 (19B88).

I installed Geany from https://download.geany.org/geany-1.36_osx.dmg. However, every time I attempt to launch Geany, it would just automatically close itself. When I execute /Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany from the command line, the result is:

/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 17: dirname: command not found
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 18: basename: command not found
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 30: basename: command not found
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 31: dirname: command not found
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 32: dirname: command not found
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 33: dirname: command not found
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 61: defaults: command not found
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 89: /Contents/MacOS/-bin: No such file or directory
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 89: exec: /Contents/MacOS/-bin: cannot execute: No such file or directory

So far I have found a workaround. After launching Geany at least once (to avoid the "app is damaged" error message), one can remove the -l from the first line of /Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany, #!/bin/bash -l. This would allow Geany to launch without issues.
