**Hey everyone,**  
**I am trying to install BFD Player on my M4 MacBook Air via inMusic Software Center. When I try to install BFD Player itself (version 1.2.1), I get a message saying that I need to install the BFD Core Library first (version 1.0.0), but when I try to install that, the process immediately cancels.**  
**Could this be because I have it installed on another computer?**  
**I tried to log in again, reinstall the whole thing, nothing works.**  
**If anyone knows what to do about it, I would be very grateful.**  
**Thank you very much.**

Ok, I just found the solution 😃

Go to Finder \> search “BFD” \> find “BFD Player - Core Library Installer.dmg” and install it from there. Then you’ll be able to install the BFD Player itself.

Sometimes the Software Center cancels the Core Library installation if the default content path is restricted by system permissions. Changing the install directory to a user-accessible folder and then retrying could help.
