This guide describes how to install, uninstall, and update the ABRA Flexi desktop application on macOS.
ℹ️ Before installing, make sure your computer meets the system requirements. You need administrator rights to install.
Installation
Download the installation file from the download page. It is distributed as a disk image (.dmg).
Double-click the downloaded .dmg file to mount the image.
In the mounted image, you will find the .pkg installation package. Double-click it to launch the installation wizard, then click Continue.
The wizard shows the estimated disk space the installation will require. Continue by clicking Install.
The wizard reports the result in the final step. Close it by clicking Close.
⚠️ If the installation fails with an error, you can find details in the log /var/log/flexibee-install-log.txt, or in /var/log/flexibee-client-install-log.txt for a client installation. Attach the log when you contact support.
Updating to a Newer Version
You update the same way as the initial installation — download the newer version and go through the wizard. The data of your accounted companies will be preserved.
Macs with an Apple Silicon Processor
As of version 2026.6.0, both Java and the local database are ready for M-series processors. Rosetta 2 is therefore no longer needed for normal operation.
Version | Change |
2024.7.0 | The installation includes Java 11 for ARM. The installer automatically selects the Apple Silicon or Intel variant. |
The installer additionally installs Rosetta 2, which is required by the previous PostgreSQL 13. Without it, the database will not start on macOS 27 and later. | |
Migration to PostgreSQL 17, which is ready for M-series processors. |
ℹ️ Rosetta 2 applies only to the local database. A client installation (connecting to a server or the cloud) does not include a database and has included Java for ARM since version 2024.7.0.
⚠️ When updating from a version older than 2026.6.0, Rosetta 2 is still required, because the data conversion runs the original PostgreSQL 13 database for Intel processors. The installer installs it automatically, but the computer must be connected to the internet. For details on the conversion process, see the article on updating the database system.
Uninstallation
Mount the installation .dmg, which contains the uninstaller Uninstaller.app. Run it under an administrator account and click the uninstall button.
⚠️ Select the option to delete the data of accounted companies only if you truly want to lose all of your accounting data. Without it, only the application is removed and the data remains on the disk.
If you do take this step, make sure you have a backup of your company available.
Network Installation
If multiple users need to access the data, follow the article Installation on a Server.
