MinimServer on Mac High Sierra 10.13.3

[copper beeches]

OK - today I dowloaded MinimServer 0.8.5.2 from the Home Site onto my Mac (High Sierra 10.13.3) - all went OK and I added the downloaded MinimServer to my Applications Folder. However, when I try to open the same - nothing happens - zilch! Don't know what I am doing wrong......

Could your problem be, not following step 5 of the Installation guide?

Please also make sure you follow steps 6 and 7 and take note of step 8.

I am having exactly the same problem with High Sierra 10.13.4. I have followed steps 1 - 8, uninstalled and reinstalled but still cannot get Minimserver 0.8.5.2 to open on my Mac

I have just updated from 10.13.1 to 10.13.4 and MinimServer is working for me.

In Finder, select Go > Go to Folder and enter ~/Library. In the list of folders, there should be a folder named MinimServer and there should be a file named minimserver.log in this folder. Please double-click the minimserver.log file and copy and paste the contents here.

This log shows that you are running MinimServer 0.8.4, not 0.8.5.2. Please do the following:

1) Click the red minim icon in the menu bar and select Exit. If there is no red minim icon, logout and login again.
2) In the ~/Library/MinimServer folder, drag the minimserver.config file to the Trash
3) Download MinimServer 0.8.5.2 from the Downloads page and install it by following the steps in this section, making sure that you include step 4

Followed instructions, including step 4 but still no icon appearing in menu bar. Tried deleting 0.8.5.2 and reinstalling but still no luck. Deleted everything including Minimserver folder in library to try and start from scratch but still no result.

Is there a minimserver.log file in the ~/Library/MinimServer folder? If so, please post the contents of this file.
