I have followed previous instructions to get KeePass 2.20 installed on my iMac, OSX 10.8.2 but when you click on the app from the Applications folder it appears to start and then does nothing. How can I fix this?

Running Keepass under Mono Framework
Requirements for this to work properly:
- Mono Framework: http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html
- Xquartz: https://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/
- Keepass Binaries from website
Installation:
- Install Mono Framework
- Install Xquartz and reboot
- Extract the binaries into a folder titled “Keepass” in the application directory
Running Keepass under the Mono Framework:
- Open terminal and switch directories to /applications/keepass (cd /d applications/keepass)
- Type “Mono keepass.exe”
- Keepass will open under the mono framework
OR
Create a workflow script that acts as app that launches Keepass under mono (I have done this successfully, which is extremely easy if you use the "automator" app.
Issues: While running software under Mono, I have experienced a "delay" in key entry which results in incorrect key entries. This becomes an issue when you are logging into the database or manually assigning a password to an account.

Exactly what I needed. Still it was very slow, took me minutes messing around moving a window saying it wanted to update and waiting while nothing happened. Running an EXE with
mono Keepass.exewas the key. Simple, just not normal for mac I guess. Mar 3, 2017 at 10:28
I've got the same problems with the .app bundle found on openix.be site. Try downloading mono and keepass 2 zip bundle from http://keepass.info/download.html. Or try KeepassX.

You have to read and follow the instructions provided by the installation program such as installing Mono and XQuartz.
On my Mac it's running well.
