HI, i was trying to instal fab filter from Audioz, and i cannot because it says something like "the creator is unknown, mac cant know if this have a virus" and i cannot install..

what i am doing wrong??

please help.

 

Did u disable sip ?

 

1. When that message pops up, click done.
2. go to system settings and scroll down on the left bar to privacy and security. Click privacy and security and then Scroll down on the right bar and you should see a message about not being able to open FabFilter
3. Click ‘open anyway’.
4. Enter your password, and all should be good. Hopefully.

 

To add to pink’s comment, in terminal (the app) copy and paste in this code

sudo spctl --master-disable


This is so you won’t get any more of those messages when installing from AudioZ, remember to buy after trying if satisfied with the product

 

Isn't simply right-clicking the file and clicking 'Open' the easiest way to bypass the unknown-developer-protection?

There is certainly no need to disable SIP..

 

telling someone who is new to mac to disable SIP would constitute bad advice.

Permanently disabling Gatekeeper isn't all that great, either.

 

Thanks to everyone, even to "clone" for caring me as new guy.

I gonna try what u recomended me.
and let a new comment to confirm.
Big thanks again guys!

 

welcome to Mac ecosystem, enjoy!

Apple is more and more obsessed with users' security and safety, so you'll be seeing such (misleading) warnings all the time,

for an advanced MacOS user, using Terminal and manually Codesigning and Dequarantining individual binary files is the best way, no doubt,
as others suggested disabling SIP, it's a two-edged sword, because if you happen to allow some genuine malware (funny, isn't it?) you may have hard time fixing things,

for a casual MacOS user, I would recommend a free opensource app Sentinel, which can do all those terminal commands in the background, user just drags and drops a file/app/plugin etc.. to do that: https://github.com/alienator88/Sentinel
its current version requires MacOS 13 Ventura (assuming you have relatively new Mac, the app should work then)
