Installed Anki on MacOS - No Anki Program Files folder in Application Support

Anki Help
1

Installed Anki, and it wouldn’t open when I double-clicked the program in the dock. Looked for some answers on this forum and tried to manually open it in Terminal with:
/Applications/Anki.app/Contents/MacOS/launcher

Got this error message:

/Users/lukassullivan/Library/Application Support/AnkiProgramFiles/.venv/bin/python -c import aqt, sys; sys.argv[0] = 'Anki'; aqt.run(): No such file or directory (os error 2)

Tried to go look for the Anki Program Files folder in Application Support to see if anything was off, but there’s no Anki Program Files folder in Application Support.

I can’t think of why that might happen - the launcher is trying to start Anki, but it shouldn’t do that until the folder is created first. I presume this was with the 25.09 launcher? And you checked Application Support in you $HOME/Library, not the system /Library? What does the following output when run in a terminal?

ls ~/Library/Application\ Support/AnkiProgramFiles
