Since I am an indie developer, the app is not signed by Apple. You need to allow it once.
1. Move to Applications:
Drag the Vortex.app to your Applications folder.
2. Fix "Unidentified Developer":
- Method A (Settings): Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Scroll down and click "Open Anyway".
- Method B (Terminal - Instant Fix):
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Vortex.app
Make the file executable and run it:
chmod +x Vortex-Linux
./Vortex-Linux
