<p>My computer is running on MacOS Catalina 10.15.1 (19B88).</p>
<p>I installed Geany from <a href="https://download.geany.org/geany-1.36_osx.dmg" rel="nofollow">https://download.geany.org/geany-1.36_osx.dmg</a>. However, every time I attempt to launch Geany, it would just automatically close itself. When I execute <code>/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany</code> from the command line, the result is:</p>
<pre><code>/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
</code></pre>
<p>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 <code>-l</code> from the first line of <code>/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany</code>, <code>#!/bin/bash -l</code>. This would allow Geany to launch without issues.</p>
