How to download BootCaT for Mac

READ THIS CAREFULLY, DON'T JUST DOWNLOAD IT BECAUSE IT WON'T WORK!

Download BootCaT from here and install it:

https://bootcat.dipintra.it/download/BootCaT-1.57_Intel.dmg

If you want the Apple Silicon version download this (if you're not sure what “Apple Silicon” means, then use the link above):

Installation guide

NB: you'll need to do this only once, after the first time, BootCaT will open normally.

Try to start the App, you need to this this at least once, otherwise the rest of this guide will not work, you'll see something like this (this is normal):

Click “OK” or “Done”, do not “Move to Trash” or you'll have to re-install BootCaT.

Open “System Settings…” from the Apple menu:

Scroll down and click on “Privacy and Security” and then on “Open Anyway”:

Now you'll have to confirm that you want to open BootCaT anyway:

Finally you'll have to confirm using your password or fingerprint:

From now on BootCaT will open normally.

Why do I have to do this?

Since version 10.15.X “Catalina”, MacOS prevents non-notarized applications downloaded from the Internet from running.

Since BootCaT isn't notarized, the workaround presented here is needed to and run the App.
