Roon is slow, freezing or won’t start · Roon won’t start up at all
Tell us what's going on · I have installed Roon on MacBook Air. I use it as my server to play music via MacBoo. By the start up appears" Waiting for your Roon Server..." and Roon does not start.

Hello @Petr_Lukes ,
Thanks for reaching out to our support.
It looks like RoonServer is not running on your Mac.
Please execute the following command in terminal to start it :
ROON_APP="$(find /Applications -maxdepth 2 -type d -name 'Roon.app' 2>/dev/null | head -n 1)"; [ -z "$ROON_APP" ] && ROON_APP="$(find /System /Users /Volumes /Applications -type d -name 'Roon.app' 2>/dev/null | head -n 1)"; [ -n "$ROON_APP" ] && open "$ROON_APP/Contents/RoonServer.app" || echo "Roon.app not found"
Let us know please if that has helped.
Thanks.
