Creative Cloud won't install

[scarabcraft99]

Running a mac with Yosemite. Creative Cloud will not install, I tried everything that the posts say to do, deleting opm.db file, OOBE folder contents, restarting, getting rid of old Adobe software, and I have no idea what else to do. I've been sitting here for hours trying to fix this.
