Populus 1.1.0

How to install

1. Under Assets below, click Populus-1.1.0.dmg to download it.

2. Open the downloaded file and drag Populus onto the Applications folder.

3. The first time you open Populus, your Mac will block it because it is not registered with Apple. Click Done, then go to System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway.

   Or open the Terminal app, paste this command and press Return:

   xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Populus.app

   You only need to do this once.

Already have 1.0.0? Download the new .dmg and drag Populus to Applications again, choosing Replace.

Needs macOS 26 or later. Runs on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Full steps with more detail are in the README.
