Dear all,

I'm a pretty young user of FreeCAD 0.19. It's really a great CAD solution.
The installation was easy to me and watching a number of tutorials helped a lot to start working with.
I did me first working bench for my own garage.

My challenge now is to install the help function on my Mac.

I found the download file for 0.19 but I got stopped with getting the message that FreeCad can't launch the "qt assistant", which is available.
I researched the forum without success.

Have someone a hint for me how I can get this fixed or where to search for a solution?

Many thank,
Richie

Maybe and tell us how you have installed FreeCAD, on Linux using an AppImage or a Portable Build on windows, are less error prone and generally work at first try.
