Kodi 17.1 will not start on Macbook Pro 2011 using 10.11.6

I do the installation according to the instructions but after checking the library and such it seem it has not been installed as there are no references to kodi or anything like it. Icon is in the applications folder double click on it the bar changes for half a second then finder is back. As best as I can tell Kodi does not work on el Capitan (I know it does, just not for me) so what am I doing wrong?
