This walkthrough should get you up and running with Libation on your Mac.
-
Download the file from the latest release and extract it.
- Apple Silicon (M1, M2, ...):
Libation.9.4.2-macOS-chardonnay-
arm64.tgz
- Intel:
Libation.x.x.x-macOS-chardonnay-
x64.tgz
- Apple Silicon (M1, M2, ...):
-
Move the extracted Libation app bundle to your applications folder.
-
Open a terminal (Go > Utilities > Terminal)
-
Copy/paste/run the following command (you'll be prompted to enter your password)
sudo spctl --master-disable && sudo spctl --add --label "Libation" /Applications/Libation.app && open /Applications/Libation.app && sudo spctl --master-enable
-
Close the terminal and use Libation!
If Libation fails to start after completing the above steps, try the following:
- Right-click the Libation app in your applications folder and select Show Package Contents
- Open the
Contents
folder and then theMacOS
folder. - Find the file named
Libation
, right-click it, and then select Open.
Libation should launch, and you should now be able to open Libation by just double-clicking the app bundle in your applications folder.
Libation comes with a recovery app called Hangover. You can start it by running this command:
open /Applications/Libation.app --args hangover
Libation comes with a command-line interface. Unfortunately, due to the way apps are sandboxed on mac, its use is somewhat limited. To open a new sandboxed terminal in LibationCli's directory, run the following command:
open /Applications/Libation.app --args cli
To use LibationCli from an unsandboxed terminal, you must disable gatekeeper again and run the program directly at /Applications/Libation.app/Contents/MacOS/LibationCli
Then use ./LibationCli
to execute a command.
