I tried with a different data directory but same issue:

using --timeout-processes-running-sec 120 makes no difference

Thanks for bringing to our attention. After untarring and before running yb-ctl, could you pls run ./bin/post_install.sh?

The complete instructions are here: YugabyteDB Quick start for macOS | YugabyteDB Docs. The https://download.yugabyte.com instructions were missing the above post_install.sh step. We have corrected this error now.

Thanks for the quick fix…working now as expected.
