macOS

This bundle supports macOS versions starting with 10.14 (Mojave).

What to do with dialog saying “darktable” can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store:

• Locate darktable in Applications folder (or wherever you installed it) using Finder
• Do “Open” via context menu
• You will be presented with similar-looking dialog, but this time there will be second button allowing you to run the application
• After that you will be able to start darktable without this trick (well, until you update it, then you will have to do above steps again)

or you can prevent this from happening by running xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/darktable*.dmg command before mounting the image (or xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/darktable.app after installing).
