Oh very sorry.  I can reproduce this. I believe that an update to
`pyshortcuts`  (which *will* be a good thing for the next release of Larch)
has broken the current release.  (ah progress!).
I also believe that this means that Larch did get installed correctly, but
that the Desktop Apps/Icons did not get made.

You should be able to do this from a Terminal command line:

      pip install pyshortcuts==1.4
      larch -m

Let me know whether that fixes it or not.
Cheers,

--Matt
