How to install RAVE LIVE on a Mac

  1. Get OpenDMG. It is a free app store for open source Mac apps. Download OpenDMG.
  2. Search for RAVE LIVE and press Get. OpenDMG downloads version 0.6.1 from jedbrnth-eng's own GitHub release.
  3. Open it. The download is checked against its SHA-256 fingerprint and its signature is checked on your Mac before it lands in Applications.

Updates to RAVE LIVE show up in OpenDMG and install with one button. No account is needed.

Prefer to do it by hand? The developer's file is on GitHub: RAVE-LIVE.dmg (7.8 MB).

What is new in RAVE LIVE 0.6.1

## Download

1. Download **RAVE-LIVE.dmg** below (under Assets) and double-click it.
2. Drag **RAVE LIVE** onto the **Applications** shortcut in the window that opens.
3. Open RAVE LIVE from Applications. It isn't notarized by Apple, so macOS will say it can't verify the app. Click **Done**, open **System Settings → Privacy & Security**, scroll down and click **Open Anyway** next to RAVE LIVE, then confirm. You only do this once.
4. Allow **Screen & System Audio Recording** when asked. macOS needs it to let RAVE LIVE hear what your Mac is playing; nothing is recorded.

Prefer one command? Paste this into Terminal:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jedbrnth-eng/rave-live/main/install.sh | bash
```

Runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 12 Monterey or later (system audio capture needs macOS 13; on macOS 12 pick an input in the Audio menu, see docs/COMPATIBILITY.md). Please read the photosensitivity warning in the README before using strobes.
