Installing on macOS

Download

Head to the Downloads page and grab the macOS installer (SemanticModeler-<version>.pkg).

Install

1. Open the .pkg file.
2. Follow the installer prompts.
3. Semantic Modeler is installed to /Applications/Semantic Modeler.app.

macOS Gatekeeper (Beta Only)

Note

This is a known issue during the beta period. We are working on getting the app notarized by Apple, which will eliminate this warning in a future release.

macOS may block the app from opening the first time with a message like:

"Semantic Modeler" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

Here's how to get past it:

Option A: System Settings (easiest)

1. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security.
2. Scroll down. You'll see a message that Semantic Modeler was blocked.
3. Click Open Anyway and enter your password.

Option B: Right-click

1. Find Semantic Modeler in /Applications.
2. Right-click (or Control-click) and choose Open.
3. Click Open in the dialog that appears.

Option C: Terminal

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Semantic\ Modeler.app

After the first launch, the app opens normally without any warnings.

Tip

You can verify your download by comparing the SHA-256 hash on the Downloads page:

shasum -a 256 SemanticModeler-*.pkg

Updates

Semantic Modeler checks for updates automatically in the background. When an update is ready, it's applied the next time you launch the app.

Uninstall

Drag Semantic Modeler.app from /Applications to the Trash.
