I downloaded on Mac, but says that "Sever" cannot be opened :(, how do I fix this? (MacBook Air, Sonoma 14.6.1)

This happens to me too D: I'm also using a MacBook Air, Montery 12.7.4, after extracting the zip file, during execution of the application Finder notifies that "Application could not be opened." with the only option being to acknowledge.

I figured it out, the file in MacOS is set to document instead of terminal, there are tutorials online to use terminal to convert said file into a terminal. Using a command like this converts it (No clue how not my expertise)

chmod +x SEVER.app/Contents/MacOS/'SEVER'

roughly explained the command makes it possible to execute the file as an actual program. before it was read-only for safety reasons.
same thing happens on most linux distros

This is macOS Gatekeeper + missing execute permission. The app bundle contains a binary that isn’t marked executable, so Finder refuses to launch it.

assume the app is in your applications folder do:

"chmod +x /Applications/SEVER.app/Contents/MacOS/SEVER"

then:

"xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/SEVER.app/Contents/MacOS/SEVER"

without the quotation mark.

then double click, type password, should run.
