Anki app not opening on new Mac

I recently got a new macbook air (Sequoia 15.7.3) with a new M4 chip. When i try to open Anki, the app either bounces once on the dock and doesn’t open, or it just won’t open at all.

I have tried

  • restarting computer
  • deleting all the old anki files in Finder, including .apkg files
  • downloading the newest version of Anki for MacOS
  • putting some commands into Terminal based on what I have seen on the Forum and also what my friend suggested i try:
    • /Applications/Anki.app/Contents/MacOS/anki
    • /Applications/Anki.app/Contents/MacOS/launcher
    • rm -rf /Users/x/Library/Application Support/AnkiPro/gramFiles/.venv
    • rm -rf “/Users/x/Library/Application Support/AnkiPro/gramFiles”
    • file /Users/x/Library/Application Support/AnkiPro/gramFiles/.venv/bin/python

I do not know how to use terminal. Please help!
