Important note about Gatekeeper
|
|
*******************************
|
|
|
|
Starting with macOS 10.15 Catalina, applications launched from the macOS
|
|
Terminal application (or any other terminal emulator) are subject to the same
|
|
system security policies that are applied to applications launched from the
|
|
Dock. This means that if you download executable binaries using a web browser,
|
|
macOS will not let you execute those from the Terminal by default. In order to
|
|
get around this issue you can take two different approaches:
|
|
|
|
* Run ``xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/folder`` where
|
|
``path/to/folder`` is the path to the enclosing folder where the executables
|
|
you want to run are located.
|
|
|
|
* Open "System Preferences" -> "Security and Privacy" -> "Privacy" and then
|
|
scroll down to "Developer Tools". Then unlock the lock to be able to make
|
|
changes and check the checkbox corresponding to your terminal emulator of
|
|
choice. This will apply to any executable being launched from such terminal
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
Note that this section does **not** apply to executables installed with
|
|
Homebrew, since those are automatically un-quarantined by ``brew`` itself. This
|
|
is however relevant for most :ref:`third_party_x_compilers`.

Additional notes for MacPorts users
|
|
***********************************
|
|
|
|
While MacPorts is not officially supported in this guide, it is possible to use
|
|
MacPorts instead of Homebrew to get all the required dependencies on macOS.
|
|
Note also that you may need to install ``rust`` and ``cargo`` for the Python
|
|
dependencies to install correctly.
