Hey folks , I’m in college and my teacher is lecturing with this tool “MonoGame”, but I personally don’t use VS but instead I use Rider. And I am having no success in running the MGCB Editor in a “standalone” version.
I followed the instructions, through the first step and then the last step which was to install the editor.

dotnet-mgcb 3.8.1.303 mgcb /Users/0rangefox/Projects/Rider/Sokoban/.config/dotnet-tools.json
dotnet-mgcb-editor 3.8.1.303 mgcb-editor /Users/0rangefox/Projects/Rider/Sokoban/.config/dotnet-tools.json
If I run the command “dotnet mgcb-editor” it gives the following error:
Sokoban % dotnet mgcb-editor
Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found.
Possible reasons for this include:
* You misspelled a built-in dotnet command.
* You intended to execute a .NET program, but dotnet-mgcb-editor-mac does not exist.
* You intended to run a global tool, but a dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATH.
But when I do the following command “dotnet tool install dotnet-mgcb-editor-mac”, it stops giving more errors, but it doesn’t open the program either. Even in the folder the Mac recognizes which program to use, but it happens exactly the same when I run it through the command which is, it opens and closes instantly, in the dock it doesn’t even show the icon but does a spacing and goes back to the original.
