• Mac OS X

  Install
  1. If DeadboltEdit is already installed, you can install the new version in the same location - it will safely replace the older version.
     If you prefer, you can delete the older version first - see "Uninstall" below.
  2. Download the DeadboltEdit installation file for Mac OS X.
  3. Double-click the installation file (.dmg file). This should launch a new Finder window showing DeadboltEdit.app.
  4. Drag DeadboltEdit.app to your Applications folder.
  5. Eject (unmount) the .dmg file by clicking the eject icon in a Finder window.
     (you can then delete the .dmg file)
  6. Double-click DeadboltEdit.app to launch DeadboltEdit, or start it from Launchpad.
     Mac OS 10.8 And Later: Beginning with Mac OS 10.8, a security feature called Gatekeeper only allows your Mac to run apps from the App Store, and apps that are signed by a certificate issued by Apple. (the certificate costs $100 USD per year) Gatekeeper may tell you this application is damaged - it isn't. To allow DeadboltEdit to run, use Finder to view the Applications folder, then Ctrl+click or Right-click DeadboltEdit.app and choose "Open". It will run without warnings after doing this one time.
  
  Uninstall
  1. Delete DeadboltEdit.app in the Applications folder by moving it to Trash.
