# Run Libation on MacOS
|
|
This walkthrough should get you up and running with Libation on your Mac.
|
|
|
|
## Supports macOS 13 (Ventura) and above
|
|
|
|
## Install Libation
|
|
|
|
- Download the file from the latest release and extract it.
|
|
- Apple Silicon (M1, M2, ...): `Libation.x.x.x-macOS-chardonnay-`**arm64**`.tgz`
|
|
- Intel: `Libation.x.x.x-macOS-chardonnay-`**x64**`.tgz`
|
|
- Move the extracted Libation app bundle to your applications folder.
|
|
- Right-click on Libation and then click on open
|
|
- The first time, it will not immediately show you an option to open it. Just dismiss the dialog and do the same thing again (right-click -> open) then you will get an option to run the unsigned application. This takes about 10 seconds.
|
|
|
|
## If this doesn't work
|
|
|
|
You can add Libation as a safe app without touching Gatekeeper.
|
|
|
|
- Copy/paste/run the following command. Adjust the file path to the Libation.app on your computer if necessary.
|
|
|
|
```Console
|
|
xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/Libation.app
|
|
```
|
|
- Close the terminal and use Libation!
|
|
|
|
## If this still doesn't work
|
|
|
|
- Copy/paste/run the following command (you'll be prompted to enter your Mac password)
|
|
|
|
```Console
|
|
sudo spctl --master-disable && sudo spctl --add --label "Libation" /Applications/Libation.app && open /Applications/Libation.app && sudo spctl --master-enable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Close the terminal and use Libation!
|
|
|
|
## "Apple can't check app for malicious software"
|
|
|
|
From: [How to Open Anyway](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/apple-cant-check-app-for-malicious-software-mchleab3a043/mac):
|
|
|
|
* On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Privacy & Security in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
|
|
* Go to Security, then click Open.
|
|
* Click Open Anyway. This button is available for about an hour after you try to open the app.
|
|
* Enter your login password, then click OK.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
If Libation fails to start after completing the above steps, try the following:
|
|
|
|
1. Right-click the Libation app in your applications folder and select _Show Package Contents_
|
|
2. Open the `Contents` folder and then the `MacOS` folder.
|
|
3. Find the file named `Libation`, right-click it, and then select _Open_.
|
|
|
|
Libation _should_ launch, and you should now be able to open Libation by just double-clicking the app bundle in your applications folder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Running Hangover
|
|
|
|
Libation comes with a recovery app called Hangover. You can start it by running this command:
|
|
```Console
|
|
open /Applications/Libation.app --args hangover
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running 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:
|
|
```Console
|
|
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`
|
|
|
|
Then use `./LibationCli` to execute a command.
