Actually, as of today, that article doesn't help. I almost linked to it this past weekend, Laszlo until I saw that it only helps people who are upgrading to Sierra.

If I read between the lines, it appears that Giacomo must be able to download the complete AC 20 and AC 19 packages that have already been updated to the latest builds in order to install. Just a guess.

Giacomo, I think you should contact technical support for Graphisoft Italy with your question and possibly a link to an updated installation package... and hopefully Graphisoft HQ will update the Sierra page with more information soon.

Yes Karl, you are right, that article talks mostly about system upgrade with AC already installed.
Here is the download page for the ARCHICAD 20 versions:

The installer files for all affected Mac versions were updated (to build 3016 from build 3012).

Slightly off topic.
We updated to Mac Sierra and noticing that we're losing links of images, drawings and translators on our network.

We have installed the ArchiCad hotfixes.
