      ProjectLibre 1.9.8 runs on Linux, Windows and macOS. However, on macOS it is only on Apple Silicon. It does not run on macOS using x86 chips. There is a workaround if needed but the easiest is to go to Sourceforge.net and ProjectLibre download files and download the 1.9.3 version. That will run on the x86 macOS.

      You will need to go to Security/Preferences and “allow” installation since it is not coming from the Apple site. We do have a further workaround if for some reason you are having an issue on Mac and it ‘is’ on an M chip.

      “You must allow the installation under Security/Settings as it does not come from the Apple website.” This no longer works. The option is no longer available in the latest MacOS 15.5. Is there another option?

      I do have Apple silicon in M1 Mac and tried to install 1.9.8 several times on both host MacOS 15.4.5 and VM Linux Ubuntu 24.04 and none would work. On Mac, never did not get dialog box allowing me to authorize application to run. On Linux I received warning that Project Libre was not compiled for ARM processor. I finally was able to get 1.9,3 to run on Mac, but would prefer to use most recent version.

      Is there another workaround for Mac or Linux?
