From troubleshooting:

Pinentry is the tool used to securely request the admin password from the user. The password is needed because some applications require it to complete the installation. Most applications can be installed without Pinentry. Applite will try to install Pinentry every time you open Applite or try to download an application that has a .pkg installer.
If you keep getting this error, you can try to install Pinentry manually. Open the Terminal. And paste this into it:

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/Library/Application Support/Applite/homebrew/bin"; /usr/bin/env brew install pinentry-mac

Press Enter to run it. This will attempt to install Pinentry manually.

Edit: Fix command

Oh, sorry. The example I provided was wrong. Use this instead:

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/Library/Application Support/Applite/homebrew/bin"; /usr/bin/env brew install pinentry-mac
