I already have Pressmatic installed and it works well, but I couldn’t launch Local because of this error. I tried restarting Mac but got the same error.

Interesting, I’ll check into this.

In the meantime you can do this:

1. Make sure Pressmatic and Local are both closed and not running
2. Go to ~/Library/Appliation Support (you can get there by pressing Command+Shift+G and pasting that path)
3. Copy the router, addons, and site-templates directories into Local by Flywheel from Pressmatic
4. Rename site-templates to blueprints inside Local by Flywheel
5. Copy all JSON files from Pressmatic to Local by Flywheel
6. Create a new JSON file named machine.json in Local by Flywheel containing the following:

{
  "name": "pressmatic",
  "image": "pressmatic"
}

After all that is done you can start up Local.

Thanks.

I followed your instruction, but I got the same error.

Also, I tried to delete the Local app and ~/Library/Appliation Support/Local by Flywheel, then re-downloaded and re-installed Local, but this also didn’t work.

The easiest option I found was to;

1. Uninstall Local by Flywheel
2. Install MAMP
3. Perfectamondo
