Are you reading the correct page for you operating system? Windows - OSX - Linux

A clean install is a manual procedure that removes the viewer, all cache, configuration files and replaces it with a completely fresh install. If you are doing this as part of a viewer update, then we recommend you follow ALL of the steps in order.

If you are not installing a newer version of Catznip then you should read our Troubleshooting Guide first.

Do NOT attempt to follow these instructions while the viewer is running

Note : Images are for guidance only, please read the instructions carefully.


Remove settings

  • Open Finder, from the top menu Go > Go to Folder and enter ~/Library/Application Support/Catznip

  • If you do not wish to delete all chat logs, in the right pane, delete the user_settings, logs and browser_profile folders.
  • Enter each of the user named folders one by one (trinity_dejavu in the screenshot) and delete ONLY the browser_profile folder and all XML files. It may help to sort the folder view by type.


Manually Clear the Cache

  • Open Finder, from the top menu Go > Go to Folder and enter ~/Library/Caches
  • Drag the Catznip folder to the trash.



Remove and Reinstall

  • Open Applications and drag Catznip to the Trash.
  • Download the Latest Release and install as normal.
