### macOS Installation — "damaged and can't be opened" fix
### macOS Installation Guide
Because the app is not code-signed, macOS Gatekeeper will block it with a **"damaged and can't be opened"** message. This is expected — the file is fine. Fix it with one Terminal command:
Because the app is not notarized by Apple, macOS Gatekeeper will block it on first launch. Follow these steps:
**Step 1** — Open the DMG (it will mount even if the warning appears)
**Step 1** — Mount the DMG and drag the app to `/Applications`
**Step 2** — Open Terminal and run:
```bash
xattr -cr "/Volumes/Open Higgsfield AI/Open Higgsfield AI.app"
```
**Step 3** — Drag the app to `/Applications`, then open it normally.
If you already copied it to Applications before running the command:
```bash
xattr -cr "/Applications/Open Higgsfield AI.app"
```
> Alternatively: after attempting to open, go to **System Settings → Privacy & Security** → scroll down → click **"Open Anyway"**.
**Step 3** — Right-click the app in `/Applications` → click **Open** → click **Open** again on the dialog
> You only need to do this once. After that, the app opens normally.
**Alternative (no Terminal):**
1. Try to open the app — macOS will block it
2. Go to **System Settings → Privacy & Security**
3. Scroll down to find _"Open Higgsfield AI was blocked"_
4. Click **Open Anyway** → **Open**
