Installation

  1. Download Sato-1.0.0.dmg below
  2. Double-click to open, drag Sato to your Applications folder
  3. Launch Sato from Applications
  4. EXCLUSIVE ISSUE/REQUIREMENT FOR V1.0.0: You'll be met with a scary "Apple cannot verify this app for malware" message. Simply close it, then navigate to Settings β†’ Security & Privacy β†’ Click "Allow Anyway" in the security dialog. This happens because the app isn't signed by Apple (yet- waiting on approval). It only appears once.
