Run Libation on MacOS

This walkthrough should get you up and running with Libation on your Mac.

Install Libation

  • Download the Libation.app.x.x.x.tar.gz file from the latest release and extract it.
  • Move the extracted Libation app bundle to your applications folder.
  • Open a terminal (Go > Utilities > Terminal)
  • In the terminal type the following commands
    • sudo spctl --add --label "Libation" /Applications/Libation.app (you'll be prompted to enter your password.)
    • sudo spctl --master-disable
  • Keep the terminal open and run the Libation app
  • Go back to terminal and type the following command
    • sudo spctl --master-enable
  • Close the terminal

Libation is now registered with gatekeeper and will run even when gatekeeper is turned back on.

Running Hangover

Libation comes with a recovery app called Hangover. You can start it by running this command:

open /Applications/Libation.app --args hangover

Runnign LibationCli

Libation comes with a command-line interface. Unfortunately, due to the way apps are sandboxed on mac, its use is somewhat limited. To open a new sandboxed terminal in LibationCli's directory, run the following command:

open /Applications/Libation.app --args cli

To use LibationCli from an unsandboxed terminal, you must disable gatekeeper again and run the program directly at /Applications/Libation.app/Contents/MacOS/LibationCli
