## [Installation](https://github.com/w0lfschild/MacForge/wiki/Installation) 📂



- Download the [latest release](https://github.com/w0lfschild/app_updates/raw/master/MacForge1/MacForge.zip)

- Unzip the download if your browser does not do so automatically

- Open MacForge and allow it to install helper tools

- Disable [System Integrity Protection](https://www.imore.com/how-turn-system-integrity-protection-macos)

    - Open `Terminal.app` and run the command

    - `sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.libraryvalidation.plist DisableLibraryValidation -bool true`

    - Boot to recovery mode by rebooting and holding down `⌘ + R`

    - Open the `Terminal` from the menubar and run the command

    - `csrutil enable --without debug --without fs`

    - Reboot

## Functionallity notes 📝



- Loading plugins into most applications requires that [System Integrity Protection](https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/208478/how-do-i-disable-system-integrity-protection-sip-aka-rootless-on-os-x-10-11) and Library validation are disabled

- Loading plugins into some applications may require the plugin must be *signed* and in the `/Library` directory

- Some applications installed by MacForge may not require `System Integrity Protection` or `Library Validation` to be disabled to function
