[scribus] Problems installing on Mac

[Sue Diver]

Hi Both,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I’ve checked out the link to the wiki and the system security settings. I’m afraid that Apple now only has two options for download/installation and they are only to allow from the App Store or to allow from the App Store or Apple approved developers. It says it won’t let me install because Scribus are not Apple approved developers!

I thought this was only the case on mobile devices but it seems not! Do you know of a way around this?

Best regards

Sue

Please go into system security preferences and you will likely have a message there asking you to allow Scribus to run.
