## 🔧 **Common Issues & Solutions**

### **macOS Reports the Installer as Malware**

**Symptoms**: macOS blocks a downloaded PentAGI installer and reports that it may contain malware.

**What is currently known**:
- Use only the official PentAGI installer downloads linked from the project README.
- Select the archive that matches your Mac CPU architecture: `darwin/amd64` for Intel Macs or `darwin/arm64` for Apple silicon.
- Maintainer notes in [issue #249](https://github.com/vxcontrol/pentagi/issues/249) report that the installer files are signed with the project certificate and that the checked `arm64` and `amd64` builds had zero VirusTotal detections.
- The maintainers have contacted Apple about the warning and are awaiting a response.

**Recommended handling**:
- Treat any unexpected malware warning as a reason to stop and verify the download source before continuing.
- Re-download the installer from the official PentAGI link if the archive came from a mirror, chat attachment, or any unofficial source.
- If you trust the official release after verification, try to open the installer once. Then open **System Settings** -> **Privacy & Security**, find the security message that says the installer was blocked, click **Open Anyway**, and confirm the follow-up prompt to allow that specific app to run.
- If your version of macOS shows different wording, follow Apple's guidance for opening a Mac app from an unidentified developer: <https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-a-mac-app-from-an-unidentified-developer-mh40616/mac>.
- Do not reuse an installer archive that was downloaded from an unknown source, even if its filename matches the official archive name.
