To collect installer logs, follow these steps depending on your operating system (not available for Windows):

MacOS:

    Inside the log folder, look for the file named install.log. If it’s not immediately visible, use the search bar in the top-right corner of the Finder.

  5. Copy the file to an accessible location

    Once found, you can:

    • Right-click on install.log and choose Copy "install.log"
    • Navigate to a convenient folder (e.g., Desktop)
