This page explains how to install SMAPI (the tool which lets you use mods) on MacOS. See also:
Install
- Install the "stable channel" version of Mono. (If this doesn't work, see Troubleshooting.)
- Download SMAPI.
- Open the Zip file you downloaded in the previous step to extract its contents.
- Open Terminal, and then enter the following command:
mdfind -0 'kMDItemFSName = "install on Mac.command" && kMDItemContentType = "com.apple.terminal.shell-script"' | xargs -0 xattr -d com.apple.quarantine - In Finder, open the file
install on Mac.command, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
That's it! Just launch the game to play with mods. You don't need to change your Steam launch options (that's only needed on Windows).
Note:
- Step 4 is necessary because, by default, Gatekeeper will prevent you from opening unsigned script files downloaded via the Internet.
- To open Terminal, open Launchpad, type Terminal, and then press return.
- You must reinstall Mono whenever you update macOS.
To install manually instead, see instructions in the installer's readme.
Update
Just install the new version; the installer will automatically clean up previous versions.
Uninstall
- Open the file
install on Mac.command. - Choose to uninstall SMAPI.
