Mac Installation

I'm very happy at the prospect of being able to use DAZ Studio on a Mac, rather than just the PC, but I can't get it to install.
It's a pretty new machine with plenty of drive space, so that's not the issue.
I've been trying to install the new version, but it's tripping over something left behind by past failed attempts. DAZ Central gets to about 85%, throws up its hands, and snaps back to 0% and a green "install" button.
What, specifically, do I need to do to remove past failed installs, to give the installer a clean slate and a better chance to succeed?
And what can be done to make the installer less brittle, better able to do better error recovery, and better able to communicate to the user what went wrong rather than just "nope, sorry, no can do"?

If your Mac has a m1 processor you will have to wait until Studio version 5 as I understand it. I have just gotten a Macbook Air m1 for my birthday so Im waiting for the upgrade.
The latest version of DAZ Studio (4.15.0.30) works with both Big Sur and the M1 Macs. I'm running it on an M1 Macbook Air (8-core CPU & GPU / 16GB RAM / 1TB SSD). :)

If DAZCentral doesn't work, I recommend installing using DIM (DAZ Install Manager), as it sometimes works better.
Is it the download or the install (I havent ran DAZCentral in a while (just runs the update to the latest version, it told me it would do that.
I run DIM on m M1Mini and it works great.
Thank you for telling me about that. Great news. And DIM is the way to install in my experience.
