What's Included

• StarHop Install.app

Install

1. Open the DMG.
2. Double-click StarHop Install.app.
3. Enter your NASA API key when prompted.
4. If Python 3 is missing, StarHop will guide you to install it first.
5. If needed, install LaunchControl. Its free trial is sufficient; you do not need to buy or register it.
6. Follow the setup guide that StarHop opens to finish the LaunchControl / fdautil permissions.

If macOS Asks

• Allow prompts for LaunchControl, bash, or System Events.
• If macOS says "bash" was prevented from modifying apps on your Mac, click Allow.
• If macOS shows a Background Items Added notice for LaunchControl, open its options and allow LaunchControl to run in the background.
• If the StarHop job in LaunchControl still does not settle down after you approve the prompts, log out and back in once, then check again.

Uninstall

Double-click StarHop Uninstall.app from the DMG, or keep a copy of it somewhere convenient for later.

• If macOS shows a warning, make sure you downloaded the release asset from GitHub Releases rather than the repository source archive.
