Installing
Linux: download the .AppImage, chmod +x it, run it.
Windows: run the NSIS installer (.exe). SmartScreen may warn — choose More info → Run anyway.
macOS: see below — one extra step is required.
macOS: "Tellnova is damaged and can't be opened"
This build is not yet notarized by Apple (no Apple Developer account yet),
so Gatekeeper shows a scary-but-wrong "damaged" message on first launch. The
download is fine. To open it:
-
Drag Tellnova from the DMG into Applications.
-
In Terminal, run:
xattr -cr /Applications/Tellnova.app
-
Still blocked on Apple Silicon? Add a local ad-hoc signature:
codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Tellnova.app
-
Launch normally. This is a one-time step per fresh install.
No Terminal? After one blocked launch attempt, go to
System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
xattr -cr only removes macOS's download-quarantine flag; it does not modify
the app. You can verify your download against SHA256SUMS.txt attached below:
shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/Tellnova-*.dmgSigned and notarized macOS builds are on the roadmap.
