Installation Guide for macOS

⚠️ Important: If you see "app is damaged" after downloading, this is normal macOS security behavior. Follow the steps below to fix it.

Quick Installation (Recommended)

Step 1: Download and Open

After downloading, locate the BUILDPRAX MEASURE PRO-1.0.0-arm64.dmg file in your Downloads folder.

Step 2: Remove Security Quarantine

Open Terminal (Press ⌘ + Space, type "Terminal", press Enter) and run:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/"BUILDPRAX MEASURE PRO-1.0.0-arm64.dmg"

This removes macOS security restrictions from the downloaded file.

Step 3: Mount and Install

Double-click the DMG file to mount it, then drag "BUILDPRAX MEASURE PRO" to your Applications folder.

Step 4: Remove App Quarantine

In Terminal, run:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/BUILDPRAX MEASURE PRO.app"

Step 5: Launch the App

Find "BUILDPRAX MEASURE PRO" in your Applications folder and double-click to launch.

First Launch: If you see "Developer cannot be verified", right-click the app and select "Open", then click "Open" in the security dialog.

✅ Success! The app should now open normally. You'll only need to do this once.

Troubleshooting

"App is damaged and should be moved to the Trash"

This is a macOS security message. Follow Steps 2 and 4 above to remove quarantine flags.

"Developer cannot be verified"

Right-click the app in Applications → Select "Open" → Click "Open" in the dialog. This only needs to be done once.
