Hi StudioWhy, I downloaded the Mac version of the game and in your install instructions it says: 

'If you are downloading for Mac, you will need to run the following command in your Terminal: curl -L      b * t , I y / macallowapp    | bash -s "/path/to/FlutterMare.app"'. 


(When I tried to fully type out the link it gave me this: '

Please check the information you provided

  • To prevent spammers and malicious links we don't allow posting          b * t , I y    links')


Could you please explain to me what these linux commands do, and how safe they are? 

I've played this game before on my old Mac, back when I didn't know what I was doing (I loved the game by the way). I kept on giving apps that didn't open complete access over my executions by typing in things such as 'sumo chmod -R777' in my terminal. Now my old Mac is fried (Probably from all the viruses I installed) and I'm being very careful now.

Yes, you can visit the script file directly to see what it does. 

Essentially, it removes the quarantine flags that Apple automatically applies to any executable application that is extracted from a zip file download from the internet. It then makes the application executable. 

Those are the only two things it does. It does not change the ownership of the application or escalate its permissions.

Unfortunately, the only way around this that we are aware of is for Apple to approve and sign our game, which will never happen.

Thanks for explaining. could you tell me how to put the command in? I mean I see two commands; one 'curl -L' and another 'bash -s'. Do I copy the whole command into one line? What about the pipe between the commands? I'd love to hear from you again. I also know I will have to fill in the path to the game myself.

Yes, copy the whole command into the terminal at once.

Be sure to replace "/path/to/FlutterMare.app" with the path to the app you downloaded. You can find this path by dragging and dropping the app into the terminal.
