arduino create agent not working

Same issue here.

MBP 2015 running Sierra 10.12.6

Invoke the plugin app - it appears to open, but the web editor cannot connect.
attempts to locate the process are fruitless - basically it appears to have crashed upon opening.

Chrome browser Version 67.0.3396.99 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Multiple installation attempts - nothing working here.
