Help please, anki not working after update

I opened anki this morning and got a notification that there was an update available. I downloaded the new version and allowed it to overwrite the old version, but when I try to open anki again, it keeps on giving me this error:


Anki Launcher

Updating Anki…

error: Querying Python at /Users/myname/Library/Application Support/AnkiProgramFiles/python/cpython-3.13.5-macos-aarch64-none/bin/python3.13 failed with exit status signal: 9 (SIGKILL)

Install failed: Failed with code Some(2): /Applications/Anki.app/Contents/MacOS/uv sync --upgrade --managed-python --no-config --python 3.13.5

Press enter to close…


I double checked that I downloaded the macOS version of anki, and my macbook is running sequoia 15.5 so I shouldn’t have any problems there. I’ve tried deleting and redownloading anki several times, but get the same error every time. Is there a way for me to still use anki?
