Installation
macOS
Bisq does not use Apple's notarization process (see why).
For that reason you will see that (misleading) alert:
Grant permissions by:
- run sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Bisq.app in a terminal (type Terminal in the Apple search box)
- open Bisq again
More details can be found here.
Windows
For similar reasons you will get that warning at Windows: Windows protected your PC
- Click the More info button when prompted
- Click the Run anyway button when prompted
