MacOS Install
A bit different...
To download the Mac client you need to run one of the following commands in a Terminal…
M Series
curl -O https://www.miragerealms.co.uk/files/clients/ptr/Mirage-PTR-MacM1.zip
Intel
curl -O https://www.miragerealms.co.uk/files/clients/ptr/Mirage-PTR-MacX64.zip
This will download the client to the directory the command was run from. By default, the Terminal opens in your home folder.
Why can't I just download a file like the other platforms?
Well, the TLDR is time and money. Apple requires developers to have their applications signed in order for them to be executable on MacOS. Getting an Application signed by Apple requires you to be a registered Apple developer, which is a subscription service with a fee. I am not a registered Apple developer, I do not subscribe, and I do not pay the fee… so Mirage Realms is not a signed application.
If you download the client via your browser, it gets flagged by the browser as unsigned which results in MacOS refusing to let you run it. If however, you download it using curl, which is the standard command line tool for grabbing stuff from the internet, it does not get flagged and you sort of… bypass the signature requirement.
Some day I may go through the process of getting the releases signed by Apple and put my hand in my wallet every year to pay the fee… today… is not that day.
