Cannot install Musescore 2.03 in OSX El Capitan
Hi! I am running OS X El Capitan 10.11.4. I've just downloaded MuseScore-2.0.3.dmg. I can open the dmg file, but when I try to move the MS icon into the App folder, I got a message saying that I have no permission for installing the app. Anyone can help me to fix this? Thank in advance! Best, Marcelo

I'm guessing this is a shared computer, and you're not an administrator. Ask the administrator to authenticate it with his or her password.
Alternatively, you can try moving MuseScore to the desktop or somewhere inside your home folder.

Thank Issac for your reply. I'll try your suggestion. However, other applications installs fine, without any permission problem, for example LibreOffice... I wonder why...
I think the issue has to do with the new System Integrity Protection (SIP) in El Capitan: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204899 https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Security/Conceptu…

Definitely not! Dragging an application into the Applications folder has always required administrator access, but that's not a process that modifies core system components, so SIP has nothing to do with this. I can only assume the OP originally installed LibreOffice from an admin account, and thus was not prompted for a password.

I think you are right. SIP should not interfere when installing apps. My account always had administrator privileges. I am the only user of my Mac. Thus yes, LibreOffice was installed from an account whit admin privileges. The same as with Musescore 2.0.2 (without problems). But after moving to El Capitan, I experienced problems installing some software (MussesCore 2.0.3 is one of them). Other apps installs fine. To complement, I am not prompted for a password ( it would be easy, because I know the admin password). I only receive a warning saying I have not privileges for installing Musescore, and nothing more. I always installed apps in my Mac via a dmg file, which has an installer builded in. This installer probably is the origin of the problem. I will dig into administrador privileges in El Capitan to clarify the problem. What is curious is that it seems I am the only one with this kind of problem in the forum! Thank you a lot for your comments!

You're welcome, and I apologize for mistaking your comment above for the opinion of a third party and, in addressing that third party, referring to the OP (original poster) as a separate person.
You're sure it doesn't prompt you for a password? It doesn't look something like this:

Today, after many days, I tried to install again Musescore 2.0.3... and the install went fine! I don't understand what happened, because I didn't do anything... Well I am now another happy user of MS 2.0.3. Thank you again for your comments!

I'm glad it worked!
