Install

  1. Check the SHA-256; it should match the value listed under Check below:
    shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/ZIKARON-0.1.0-macos-arm64.dmg
  2. In Terminal, remove the quarantine flag macOS adds to downloads:
    xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/ZIKARON-0.1.0-macos-arm64.dmg

    Do this before you open the dmg.

  3. Open the dmg, drag ZIKARON.app to Applications, then open it.

    If you dragged the app in first, run this instead:

    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ZIKARON.app

    The zikaron command line is inside the app bundle: ZIKARON.app/Contents/MacOS/zikaron.

Change the paths to wherever you downloaded the files.

Why this step: the app is signed with Kaptonia’s self-signed certificate and is outside Apple’s notarization. Files downloaded in a browser carry macOS’s quarantine flag, and macOS refuses to open them; on recent macOS, Open Anyway in System Settings › Privacy & Security works only some of the time. Checking the file and then removing the flag tells the system you trust the file you have checked.

x86_64 Linux: build 0.1.0 from source; see Developer guide · Building from source.

Both the app and the dmg are signed with this certificate. Once installed, check in Terminal; the Authority in the output should read Kaptonia:

codesign -dvv /Applications/ZIKARON.app

Check the pkg by its SHA-256. For more checks in the terminal, see Developer guide · Checksums.
