This discussion was created from the release Background Music v0.4.0.

The installer (.pkg) file is failing on Sonoma 14.4.1 running on M2 Max Chip.
Since this is GUI version I do not get any informative message - simply that the installer has failed

EDIT: It was installed correctly from CLI after installing system upgrades and restarting the computer 👍.

Similar here, Sonoma 14.4 on M1 Pro. Installing from CLI does not give meaningful information too:
