Getting Started

How to open Nerion

Nerion is not yet notarized with Apple, so macOS will ask you to confirm before opening it for the first time. It only takes a few seconds.

1

Open Nerion

Double-click the app after installing. macOS will show a security warning saying it cannot be opened. Click Done, do not click "Move to Trash".

2

Open Privacy & Security

Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and scroll down until you see a notice about Nerion being blocked.

3

Click "Open Anyway"

Next to the Nerion entry, click Open Anyway. macOS will ask you to confirm with your password or Touch ID.

4

Authenticate & launch

Enter your Mac password or use Touch ID. Nerion will open and you're all set, you won't need to do this again.

This prompt only appears on first launch. macOS requires it for apps distributed outside the App Store.
