Sorry to necro this thread, but it's 2020 and the Terraria\ Server.app for macOS still doesn't work. I am trying to run the Terraria\ Server.app on a Mac mini, with 16gb of ram, running macOS Catalina.
I downloaded the PC Dedicated Server files from the link in
Terraria then I tried to launch the Terraria Server.app I get the following error:
View attachment 283575
So then I followed the instructions Jonathan Whitmore, posted, about extracting the contents from /Terraria\ Server.app/Content/MacOS and I tried to launch the TerrariaServer file by typing: ./TerrariaServer but that produces me another error regardless that I run it as sudo or not...
awful@mc-server Terraria % ./TerrariaServer
zsh: permission denied: ./TerrariaServer
awful@mc-server Terraria % sudo ./TerrariaServer
Password: ******************************************
sudo: ./TerrariaServer: command not found
Any solutions or other ideas are greatly appreciated.
