# Unverified developers on Apple systems ### Installation Notice When installing the AeroNyx client on your Mac, you may encounter a security warning. This is normal because: * The app is distributed directly through AeroNyx rather than the App Store * macOS requires apps to be notarized by Apple for security purposes * Your Mac's default security settings protect you from unverified applications ### How to Resolve #### Method 1: First Launch 1. Locate the AeroNyx client in your **Applications** folder 2. Right-click (or Control-click) on the app 3. Select "Open" from the menu 4. Click "Open" in the security dialog that appears #### Method 2: Security Settings If Method 1 doesn't work, follow these steps: 1. Open **System Settings** (or System Preferences) 2. Go to **Privacy & Security** 3. Scroll to **Security** 4. Look for the message about AeroNyx being blocked 5. Click "Open Anyway" to allow the app to run ### Additional Help * For detailed instructions with screenshots, visit Apple's official guide: * This is a one-time process - you won't need to repeat these steps for future launches ### Why This Happens * Apple implements these security measures to protect users from potentially harmful software * Since AeroNyx distributes its client directly to maintain control over updates and features, you'll need to manually approve the app * This doesn't affect the app's functionality or security - it's simply Apple's standard procedure for non-App Store applications
