brew install natoIf you see a Gatekeeper warning about malware:
-
Temporary solution (bypass the warning):
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/nato
-
Or allow it through System Settings:
- Try running it once
- Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security
- Click "Open Anyway" next to the nato warning
-
Proper solution: The binary is ad-hoc signed, but for full Gatekeeper trust, you'd need an Apple Developer account code signature.
Download the binary from releases and use directly.
