Or you can install them beforehand as follows:ĭrag and drop the app into the terminal window

Once you have typed the password to install the tools hit return and wait for it to complete This may require you to enter your admin password which when asked you will not see as you type in the terminal so you type it blind (no worries with someone looking over your shoulder). For this it requires you to install the Apple Command Line Tools which you will be asked to install if not already installed. You may then have to codesign the application especially if running Mojave and above where notarization comes into play. Trust me, just drag and drop and let terminal do the work for you. The above posted if manually typed, /Applications/‘MusicBrainz Picard.app will not work because there is a space in-between MusicBrainz and Picard, it would require a backslash \ in that space. This will automatically insert the file path and is simplest method. To de-quarantine an application launch Terminal which can be found in your Utilities folder.ĭrag and drop the app into the terminal window after the space. Even if the sudo command was required and entering a password there is still no harm as this is very basic stuff. Note there is nothing that can cause any harm here as there is no sudo command or entering of any passwords as long you are ether logged in as administrator or have admin privileges. Those on Mojave upwards will have extra steps to take. Hopefully most of you will only have the de-quarantine to deal with. As long as you stick to my instructions you will be fine. Please read through the following carefully and take your time. You can use the above xattr -cr command as kindly posted above which clears the quarantine flag and recursively clears the flag from all files within the app. I suspect it was an honest mistake and it was forgotten in the rush to get a release out. It’s Apples security to prevent people from installing an application from an unknown developer, in other words a random application downloaded from the Whoever develops the Picard application needs an Apple Developer Certificate and to then properly codesign the app before it’s uploaded for users to download. Sounds to me like the app has not been codesigned properly therefore Gatekeeper has added a quarantine flag to the extended attributes. Here’s a link to the article which gave me the insight. I’ve not used Picard before so I’m finding my way around now that I can run it. I don’t know what the consequences are but Picard seems to run fine (at least I haven’t run into any issues yet). I don’t often use Terminal so I’m not well versed in it but apparently using the ‘xattr’ removes extended attributes from the file on the Mac. Double-click on Picard in the Applications folder.(if done correctly there should be no error in Terminal) (note the single quotes around the filename because the filename contains a space) Type the following command: xattr -cr /Applications/‘MusicBrainz Picard.app’.From the dmg, copy the app to the Applications folder.

I had the same problem - MusicBrainz Picard is damaged and can’t be opened - but I managed to get 2.3.2 running on macOS 10.13.6 by doing the following - don’t do this if you aren’t confident in using the command line:
