6959 :: Nim on MacOS: annoying macos cannot verify....

• anta40 (orginal) [2020-10-20T09:05:34+02:00] view original

  I'm a Mac beginner (using Catalina). So I downloaded nim (extracted into /opt/nim).

  When I run any nim executable (nim, nimble, nimgrep etc), MacOS will give me this complain: "macos cannot verify the developer of xxxx. Are you sure you want to open it?"

  So for each executable, I have to allow it via from System Preference -> Security & Privacy. I wonder if there's a much shorter way to do it?

  I installed Nim with brew and I don't have those problems.

  This does look much shorter than going through System Preferences: sudo spctl --add /opt/nim/bin/nimgrep

  sudo xattr -c -r Nim
  Run

  replace Nim with the directory you keep your downloaded binaries.

  Sorry I forgot to mention that I used the nightly zip files. And I also forgot that using brew is easier.
