When I try to update local it will download but when I press “Quit & Install” nothing happens. So I just closed and reopened the app. When I open app I am unable to create a new site I get the error "Error installing WordPress Object has been destroyed. What do I need to do to update to the latest version?

MacOs Catlina -v 10.15.2  
Flywheel -v 3.0.2

The latest version is a brand new app called just ‘Local’ so you’ll have to do a manual install of 5.2.5. You’ll have the old one AND the new one installed at the same time and you can export from “Local by Flywheel” and import into “Local”
