Hey there @n4m

Sorry for the delayed reply over the weekend.

Are you receiving a warning message “Can’t be opened because…Unidentified Developer” when trying to run the .pkg installer or is this a different error message ?

  • If you’re getting the “…Unidentified Developer” message, it can be bypassed by a Right Click on the .pkg installer and select ‘Open’ and confirm your choice. You can also refer to this Apple Help Article.

  • If you’re receiving a different error message, have you tried to re-download the installer already and maybe try to use a different archive manager like the free Keka or 7zip to expand the archive.

  • A screenshot of the error message and knowing if you’re on a M1/M2 Silicon Mac or Intel model, as well as your MacOS version would be helpful as well if you’re still having issue after checking the above.

Hope this helps ! Thanks for letting us know :sunglasses:

thanks for the reply ! it was quick

i think it’s a certificate signing problem

as a rule i don’t install without the app passing security checks so i might wait for the update but thanks for the info on how to bypass the security

There’s no risk to bypass this warning of course, but yep, getting your point, will be reported to SA Team :thumbsup:

If you decide to install the current version anyway and are on a M1/M2 Silicon Mac, then please be aware that the installation will require Rosetta 2 since NODE won’t run in native ARM mode on silicon Apple computers models.


For info SA Team → @bryan_spence

thanks so much Tekalight,

and rosetta2 will be fine :slight_smile:

sorry for being a bit grumpy at the start!

enjoy the week :slight_smile:
