Installation Failed on Mac

[dlm528]

So I rebooted by mac and after doing so spotify will not install.

I have tried deleting the download as well as the cache (screen shot attached) and still nothing happens.

When I try to install I just get the message "An error occured while trying to download Spotify" and then sends me back to spotify.com to redownload which I have done. I have also restarted my computer several times.

Operating System: OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

Internet service: Xfinity USA


Please help!

Have the same issue. 
I Perform a Clean Install on Yosemite 10.10.3

And now the installer just redirect me to the same page. 
Already contact the @spotifyCares in twitter but no response. 

Hopefully you get a response. 

also Tried the Clear Cache of the Library, and didnt worked.

Ah great. I had it downloaded yesterday but was trying to fix a user problem by restoring the hard drive and now this ha. Hopefully someone can help us figure this out.

Alright as a work around I found the full installer, which doesnt need to download anything further.

http://download.spotify.com/Spotify.dmg

Full .dmg download also failed, no failure message, just blink and quit.

Hello @ottonathan and Welcome to the community,

Can you please run the following command from the terminal ( make sure to navigate your terminal to Spotify.dmg location on your MAC )

sudo installer -package Spotify.dmg -target /

If something goes wrong, we will have output,which we can check.

Hi ? Wow, thank you so much for trying to help me out. I?m no Unix expert,
but I think I followed your suggestion. Here?s the output, first showing
that I think I navigated to the Downloads folder and verified the Spotify
files; then ran the install command you suggested. I find the ?not found?
error weird, but probably I?m doing something wrong?

installer: Error the package path specified was invalid: 'Spotify.dmg'.

Hey @ottonathan,

No worries 🙂 

Since I am Linux user, I don't have much clue of Mac OS.

I am going to setup VB ( Virtualbox ) and see if I can reproduce the issue or make script that will help us to troubleshoot the issue.

It will take up to 30m to set the VB if there are no issues : )
