General information

• Minishift version: minishift-1.34.3-darwin-amd64
• OS: macOS
• Hypervisor: hyperkit

Steps to reproduce

1. Get minishift either with helm or directly downloading
2. run minishift start

Expected

minishift is started

Actual

MacOS shows an error message (example for directly downloaded build)

Why is this error showing up? can't the distribution be signed?

[anjannath]

As the binaries are not signed, this is expected, please go to security settings and add exception to allow it to run, its a one time operation after downloading a new release.

@bdurrow Excellent!

This should be in the README, or in the message shown after installing with homebrew.
