    - Download MetGem and click the .dmg installer - Drag and drop MetGem into the Applications folder.
    - Open a Terminal and type the following command to tell macOS to trust the installed version of MetGem:

    .. code-block:: bash
    
        sudo xattr -cr /Applications/MetGem/MetGem.app

    - Approve command with user password.
    - Start MetGem.
    - If this fails, try the following command (the app will appear in the security preferences and you will be able to choose the "Open anyway" option):

    .. code-block:: bash
    
        sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/MetGem/MetGem.app
