- If the installer offers you the choice between installing on Macintosh HD or Macintosh HD - Data, choose Macintosh HD.
- Allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. Your Mac might restart and show a progress bar several times, and the screen might be empty for minutes at a time.

Verifying the app
Recent versions of Mac OS X have built-in code signature verification mechanismsenabled by default that will prevent opening unsigned apps (also known asGatekeeper).
While this provides little security (any one can buy a $99/year individual developercertificate), it does allow you to verify that the app you just downloaded was,indeed, built and distributed by us (itch.io).
All our OSX binaries are signed by a Developer ID certificate to the name of Amos Wenger,and you can verify them by running the following command in a terminal:
