Archive App doesn’t work on iPad

edited November 13 in Resolved Issues

I purchased the Archive and have downloaded in multiple browsers but it never opens/launches. I can’t find anywhere that there is support for the app. Can anyone here help me? Thanks!!

    My zettelkasten is for my ideas, not the ideas of others. I don’t want to waste my time tinkering with my ZK; I’d rather dive into the work itself. My peak cognition is behind me. One day soon, I will read my last book, write my last note, eat my last meal, and kiss my sweetie for the last time.

  • Stupid question, but you’re on a Mac, right?

  • I am on Mac. When I download it doesn’t open. Is there no tech support?

  • I'm not as disciplined and experienced as others here, but I'll take a crack at this.

    When you download The Archive, nothing should automatically open up. What you get is a file called something like "TheArchive-v1.7.14.dmg".

    Mac .dmg files are disk images. It's a file that can be used as a disk, sort of.

    Use the Mac Finder to locate the .dmg file, probably in your Downloads folder. Double click on it, or right-click and choose Open.

    A window will pop up with The Archive on the left and your Applications folder on the right. Drag The Archive into your Applications folder. That's all you need to do to install it - but, still, nothing yet runs.

    Use your Launcher (or the Finder) to see The Archive in your Applications folder. Double click, if you're using Finder, or a single click will do in the Launcher.

    This is how to start The Archive from now on.

    Back in your Finder's sidebar, under Locations, you'll see The Archive 1.7 listed with other disks on your system. You can eject it and delete the .dmg file. They aren't needed for running The Archive.

    Does that get you closer?

  • @WillowAnne If you want help, you will need to tell us a little bit more what you are doing. "It doesn’t work" is a bit short to try and figure out what's wrong. You download the file, what are you doing then? Have you followed @Amontillado 's steps?
