I installed digikam 7.9.0 on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 but it will not run.
The install image I downloaded from the website today was named:
digiKam-7.9.0-MacOS-x86-64
I have a MacPro 5,1 with 3.46 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processor and 32GB RAM with
an AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB graphics card.

When I try to launch the application absolutely nothing happens - I get no
splash screen, no windows of any sort open on either screen.

I have rebooted, no change in behavior.
I ran Disk Utility - First Aid, no change in behavior.
I reran the installation program, no change in behavior.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. downloaded digiKam-7.9.0-MacOS-x86-64.dmg from the website
2. checked the MD5 hash matched
3. mounted disk image and ran installer successfully
4. Double-click application icon

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing at all happens, no splash screen, no windows open

EXPECTED RESULT
Application should launch

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: 10.14.6

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I noticed a discrepancy regarding the supported versions of macOS:
The website says 10.13 and newer 

https://docs.digikam.org/en/getting_started/installation.html#minimum-system-requirements 
  says:
Operating System: 64-bit Windows 7 or newer, Apple macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or
newer and on M1, 64-bit Linux. Details see below.

https://docs.digikam.org/en/getting_started/installation.html#digikam-on-macos
  says: 
digiKam runs with Intel based Mac’s on macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and newer.

One of these are wrong...
