Error installing extensions - Error: require(axios)

[danmills7]

Hello, I am receiving the following error when installing the Todoist extension:

Error: require (axios): File not found
(line 5)
todoist.js:5:24

I get a similar error when trying to install the TextSoap & Copy as Markdown extensions.

Hi @danmills7 – what version number of PopClip are you using?

That’s the latest version, so everything should be working fine. Therefore, we have a mystery to solve!

First of all, could you please indulge me by doing a clean reinstall of a freshly downloaded copy of PopClip into the Applications folder?

I figured it out when going to do a fresh install of the app like you requested… This was a clean install of macOS, and when I downloaded PopClip, I discovered that I didn’t move the popclip.app file into the Applications folder, and just launched it from ‘downloads’. So, I quit the app, moved it to applications and started it again - and the extensions installed just fine.
Sorry to have bothered you. Thank you for your responsiveness! Dan.
