## macOS
|
|
|
|
### Option 1: Install via Homebrew (Recommended)
|
|
|
|
Installing via [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) automatically handles macOS quarantine flags and simplifies future updates:
|
|
|
|
**Install:**
|
|
1. Add the tap:
|
|
```shell
|
|
brew tap rukira/tap https://git.asarius.site/rukira/homebrew-tap.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Install WoW Backup:
|
|
```shell
|
|
brew install --cask --no-quarantine wow-backup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Update:**
|
|
```shell
|
|
brew update
|
|
brew upgrade --cask wow-backup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Uninstall:**
|
|
```shell
|
|
brew uninstall --cask --zap wow-backup
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Option 2: Manual DMG Download
|
|
|
|
1. Download the `.dmg` file from the **[latest release](https://git.asarius.site/rukira/wow-backup/releases/latest)**.
|
|
2. Double-click the `.dmg` file to mount the disk image.
|
|
3. Drag **WoW Backup.app** into your `/Applications` folder.
|
|
4. Eject the disk image.
|
|
|
|
#### Unsigned Application / Gatekeeper Notice
|
|
Because WoW Backup is distributed without Apple Developer ID code-signing notarization, macOS Gatekeeper may show a warning on first launch (*"WoW Backup cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified"* or *"Apple could not verify that WoW Backup is free of malware"*).
|
|
|
|
To launch the app:
|
|
|
|
- **Terminal (Fastest):** Run the following command to strip the quarantine attribute:
|
|
```shell
|
|
xattr -cr "/Applications/WoW Backup.app"
|
|
```
|
|
- **macOS System Settings:**
|
|
1. Open **System Settings** → **Privacy & Security**.
|
|
2. Scroll down to the **Security** section.
|
|
3. Click **Open Anyway** next to the WoW Backup notice.
|
|
4. Confirm and launch the app.
|

```shell
