# Easy installation on macOS

We provide packages (dmg) for macOS 10.15 and higher.

There are separate versions for the Intel and Apple Silicon architecture.

Download ChordPro-xxxx.dmg from GitHub and open it.

Once the .dmg is open, you will see a READ ME FIRST document.

Please read it; due to macOS safety restrictions you cannot just run the program:

Your download contains an almost ready to go ChordPro; except that the application is only ad-hoc signed by us and not by an approved Apple Developer with a valid certificate. So, the security system on your Mac will give an error when you double-click the application.

# The ‘command line’ program

The ChordPro application is not just the graphical interface,

it also contains the Terminal application; it is part of the package.

Its usage is explained in the READ ME FIRST document that is part of the package.
