I installed Dremio using the `.dmg` file but after it’s installed it won’t start. The app pulls up but it won’t start Dremio.

I checked Java and it’s:  
`java version "1.8.0_144"`  
`Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01)`  
`Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode)`

I’ve uploaded the log file. I don’t see anything obvious but I also don’t know what I’m looking for.

TIA

Did you check topic [macOS Sierra startup failure “No Cluster Identity found”](https://community.dremio.com/t/macos-sierra-startup-failure-no-cluster-identity-found/217)? It might be the same issue.

Thanks for the suggestion but it didn’t work.

Actually this is interesting: I tried it and the first time it didn’t work. I tried it again (no restarts, closing apps, etc.) and it worked.

Thanks for the help @laurent and perhaps there’s something up with the first attempt after the edit.
