I tried doing the advance installation but that "terminal" instruction was a bit confusing. I did cut and paste into box. Still nothing worked
- Walter3 years agoDropbox StaffSorry to hear about this kyc117 - could you clarify what's troubling you in the instructions exactly?

I copied and pasted into the terminal box, not sure if that is the issue. My company has us using Dropbox to complete our documentation. I cannot talk to someone as I am not the admin. This is very frustrating. I have tried all of the instructions given on these posts.

I finally got the advanced install to work. I hope I don't have to do this with every update to my mac! lol. I may never do an update again!
