==Manually Launching SMAPI on M1 Mac==
Recent versions of MacOS, particularly those that rely on M1 chips, may present an error when attempting to launch SMAPI.

This error is telling you that SMAPI's attempt to auto-launch was blocked because of a permissions issue. You can manually override this error. First click on the information button (blue circle with italicized i), which will reveal a file path to the auto-launcher.

Double-click on the document icon to open a Finder window showing the hidden tmp folder with the SMAPI launcher. The tmp folder is in the hidden private folder, so it is easiest to access it directly through the error message.
If this is the first time you are doing this, your file will likely say open-smapi-terminal.sh (this is the default launcher that is created when installing SMAPI, and will not naturally be read by M1 Terminal).

Right-click (two-fingered click on trackpad) on open-smapi-terminal.sh and select Get Info. In the "Open With" section, open the drop-down menu and go all the way to the bottom to select "Other...". Your Applications folder will open.

In your Applications folder, scroll down to find the Utilities folder and open it. You should find Terminal listed here. Select it and click "Add."

If it is grayed out, use the drop-down menu below the applications list to Enable "All Applications". All applications may temporarily gray out, but they will shortly become available. Select Terminal and click "Add."

After clicking Add you should be returned to the tmp folder where the SMAPI launcher resides. Double-click on it to launch SMAPI with Terminal.
You may find you have to manually launch SMAPI every time you want to play. Once you have set Terminal as the launching application, manually launching is as simple as clicking on the info button in the error message, opening the tmp folder, and then double-clicking either the .sh or the .command launcher file. Both will launch SMAPI in terminal.
