  It is actually even developed on BigSur 11.1 and for me it is working fine. Just reinstalled it on another BigSur machine. So in general it should be working.
  
  Do you already have an old version installed? It might be that the installer fails to stop the old version. In that case kill the running instance in task manager manually and then run the installer. Or run it directly after rebooting.

  Does the folder /usr/local/Repetier-Server still exist and contain files?
  My problem is that I see postinstall fail but no hint what fails.
  
  This is the content of postinstall:
  
  

  #!/usr/bin/env sh

  set -e

  
  

          user="repetierserver"

          group="repetierserver"

  
  

          dscl=/usr/bin/dscl

          $dscl . -read "/Users/${user}" &> /dev/null || {

          # We need to find a free UID/GID

          uid=200

          while $($dscl . -list /Users uid | grep -q "\b${uid}$") || \

          $($dscl . -list /Users gid | grep -q "\b${uid}$"); do

          uid=$((${uid} + 1))

          done

          $dscl . -create /Groups/${group}

          $dscl . -create /Groups/${group} PrimaryGroupID ${uid}

          $dscl . -create /Groups/${group} Password "*"

          $dscl . -create /Groups/${group} RealName "Repetier-Server privilege separation group"

          $dscl . -create /Users/${user}

          $dscl . -create /Users/${user} UserShell /usr/bin/false

          $dscl . -create /Users/${user} NFSHomeDirectory /var/empty

          $dscl . -create /Users/${user} PrimaryGroupID ${uid}

          $dscl . -create /Users/${user} UniqueID ${uid}

          $dscl . -create /Users/${user} Password "*"

          $dscl . -create /Users/${user} RealName "Repetier-Server privilege separation user"

          }

  
  

          # Server postinstall script to install daemon

  chmod 755 /usr/local/Repetier-Server/bin/installLaunchd.sh

  chmod 755 /usr/local/Repetier-Server/bin/uninstallLaunchd.sh

  rm -f /usr/local/Repetier-Server/bin/libiconv.2.dylib

  cp /usr/local/Repetier-Server/etc/com.repetier-server.RepetierServer.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons

  chown root /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.repetier-server.RepetierServer.plist

  launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.repetier-server.RepetierServer.plist

  chmod 644 /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.repetier-server.RepetierServer.plist

  mkdir -p "/Library/Application Support/Repetier-Server/"

  chown repetierserver "/Library/Application Support/Repetier-Server/"

  launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.repetier-server.RepetierServer.plist

  # Open Server

  sleep 10

  open http://localhost:3344

  exit 0

  
  When the directory is not empty create a file postinstall somewhere and run
  sudo sh ./postinstall
  in that directory. Then it might be clear what theproblem is, e.g. some permission problem accessing some folders. With mac that is is the first hint, but my installations are old so I might have no problems with this but with a new BigSur you have. I just removed all my allowances for server binaries of server I had and reinstalled but still working. So must be something you do not have and I do not see. So hope the files are there so running the package script manually shows what causes the installer to fail.

  Ok, that was a hard one. Had to create a virtual  Big Sur with new installation to reproduce. As it showed it was a problem with user and group creation in postinstall. I have just updated the 1.0.2 installer for mac which now works also on bigsur as expected. Thanks for pointing me to that problem. Only worked for me because I already had that user.
