The download, step by step.

This first build is signed but not yet notarised by Apple, so macOS checks with you once. After that it opens like any app. Terminal skips this step.

  1. 1

    Open the DMG

    Drag Crowny onto the Applications folder.

  2. 2

    Allow it once

    Open Crowny. When macOS stops it, go to System Settings, Privacy & Security, and choose Open Anyway.

  3. 3

    Paste your key

    Crowny asks for it on first launch and ties it to this Mac.

  4. 4

    Look up

Every step, with pictures, is in the Crowny guide.
