I've downloaded m64 version on Mac:

I have kc.lic file in m64 folder, the same with q.k :


(base) MacBook-Air-2:m64 xaffhfss$ ./q

Do you have the QHOME environment variable set to the directory with the license file?

Your folder structure should look similar to:

$ tree ~/q
/home/user/q
├── m64
│   └── q
├── kc.lic
└── q.k

And you'd set:

export QHOME="/home/user/q"

Thanks that worked.

But in my command it was actually export QHOME="/Users//q"

echo "$QHOME"

/Users//q
