How do I install Lightroom without it trying to install the CC desktop app.?

[Hipsters]

I currently have Lightroom classic 9.2.1 running on Mac OS Mojave. 

I can't import or cancel import(nothing happens when you click either button, so it I get locked out of it and have to force quit. So I found there was an update for Lightroom, perhaps that would solve the issue, but when I run the installer it starts by installing CC desktop app, which I do not want or need for one Adobe app. How can I install Light room without the desktop CC app?

Thanks

Basically you can't.

In fact I have no idea how you installed LrC to begin with without installing the CC DTA.

You do not have to have the CC DTA start with your system, there is an option for that in the CC DTA perferences.

You could look on the Pro Design Tools website to see if there is a direct download for LrC 9.3.

CC Desktop App comes first because that's how you manage your Creative Cloud products and services.  The desktop app allows you to install/update/uninstall your other apps.
