[GIS] QGIS won’t install on Mac OSX, during install says “The Installation Failed.”

macqgis

I have installed the requirements:

  • GDAL Complete 1.11 framework package
  • Matplotlib Python module

and I've made sure these requirements are properly installed by checking library/frameworks and /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages.

When I go to install QGis I get an error message stating "The installation has failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

I am running El Capitan 10.11.

http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/frameworks notes that the frameworks are built for Lion, MT Lion and Mavericks.

So it seems that El Capitan 10.11 may not be supported yet.

Perhaps you should contact the maintainer, William Kyngesburye, directly about this issue.

The other download source http://qgis.dakotacarto.com/ notes that 10.11 is untested yet.
