Help installing kdenlive on Macs

Two different Macbook Pros

  1. Mid 2014 15" Macbook Pro i7 16gb Nvidia GT 750M running Big Sur
  2. Early 2013 15" Macbook Pro i7 16gb Nvidia GT 650M running Catalina

I have tried 24.08.3, 23.08.5, 23.08.4, and a Daily Build.

None will install - all fail.

I even reloaded the OS on the Big Sur laptop. N/G

Before I start posting attachments of the errors, does anyone have kdenlive running on Macs like these, and if so, what version?

I’m working under the assumption I’m doing something wrong - Thanks in advance for any help.

Just for kicks, went back one more version to 23.08.3 - works on both laptops!

Tried 23.08.4 again on the Big Sur laptop - FAIL. Truncated Failure File -
