Unable to open .jar file in macOS #409

Closed annaleeswitek closed 3 years ago

Hello! I am trying to use this tool and having the following issue - I have installed the Java Runtime and am attempting to open the .jar file that contains your tool, but I get this error. Does anyone know how to overcome? I am a web developer, typically use Node.js for server-side, unfamiliar with Java so I might be overlooking something basic.

Thank you!

Just resolved this myself - system preferences -> security and privacy -> general and then click "allow anyway"
