This topic has been discussed before, but the thread is now closed. That is why I am posting this here.
I have a Macbook Pro running OS 10.12.6. On it, I have installed an older version of Chirp that works. I wanted to install and run the current Chirp daily build for Mac OS, which I downloaded from the website. When I unpacked the zip file, I got file named Chirp 2 (later unpacking gave me sequential numbers, Chirp 3, Chirp 4 etc). I also installed the Python libraries as recommended on the Chirp website, since the program didn't want to run without it. When starting Chirp for the first time, I am warned that the program is unsigned and asked it I still want to run it. Of course, I click OK. Nothing happens. Program is not even running in the background. I then follow the instructions on the Chirp website for giving permission to the program using the terminal window.
"Chirp.app is unsigned. With default security settings, you will need a special procedure to run it: Application Security in 10.9."
Which is this:
spctl --add $PWD
It seemed to work as far as the permissions go, but Chirp refuses to start.
The Chirp development team didn't want to help me and referred me to "forums."
Does anyone know what is going on here? How can I get Chirp to run?
