Hi @geretti,
Couchbase as a company releases new features and fixes in Enterprise Edition and then releases the fixes in CE on a delayed schedule. Some people build their own custom versions of Couchbase Server CE. To fix the particular issue that crops up with Mac OS X Sierra, it would require back porting changes to many components (basically building them with more recent versions of Go and then testing to make sure they work right). Right now, it’s not 100% clear when Couchbase the company will be able to make those fixes available for CE.
When you say you weren’t able to get Couchbase Server Enterprise Edition Preview for Mac OS X Sierra 4.5.0 working, what behavior did you observe? Can you find something in the log? You might start by looking at error.log.
By default, Couchbase logs on the Mac can be found here:
~/Library/Application\ Support/Couchbase/var/lib/couchbase/logs
Best,
-Will
