> Note on Security: Picoforge images are currently unsigned. You will need to manually authorize the application to run.
|
||||
|

1. Download the App: Get the latest version from the Releases Page.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3): Download the arm64 version for native performance.
|
||||
+ Intel Macs: Download the x64 version.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Authorization (Apple Silicon): Since the app is unsigned, choose one of the following methods to get it running on Apple Silicon:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Option A: The "Rosetta" Path (Easiest)
|
||||
|
||||
If you prefer a GUI approach, you can run the Intel version via translation.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Download the x64 image (e.g., picoforge_0.3.1_x64.dmg).
|
||||
+ Open the file. If prompted, agree to install Rosetta.
|
||||
+ Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security.
|
||||
+ Scroll down to the Security section and click "Open Anyway" for Picoforge.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Option B: The "Terminal" Path (Recommended for Performance)
|
||||
|
||||
Use this to run the native arm64 version by stripping the "quarantine" flag.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Download and extract the arm64 zip file to find picoforge.app.
|
||||
+ Open your Terminal and navigate to the folder containing the app.
|
||||
+ Run the following command to clear the extended attributes:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
xattr -cr picoforge.app
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
+ Right-click (or Control-click) the app and select Open.
