Three steps to install macOS

Follow the steps in order. Skip any notices you don't encounter.

  1. 01

    Download and open the installer

    In your browser's downloads list, find the EvoEngine .dmg file. Wait until it finishes, then double-click it.

    If Safari asks whether to allow downloads, verify the website is proteinx.bio , then select “Allow”. If Edge says it isn't commonly downloaded, select “…” → “Keep” → “Show more” → “Keep anyway”.

    Using Chrome? See its download guidance below.

  2. 02

    Drag into Applications

    In the installer window, drag EvoEngine Desktop into the Applications folder and wait for copying to finish.

    Then find and open it in Finder's Applications folder.

    Launch from Applications for easier access next time.

  3. 03

    Allow the first launch

    If macOS says the developer can't be verified or Apple can't check for malicious software, dismiss that notice first.

    After verifying the source, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, find EvoEngine Desktop, and select “Open Anyway”. Then confirm “Open”.

    Try opening the app first for this option to appear.

Make sure your installer comes from proteinx.bio. Unsigned, unnotarized, or unfamiliar apps may trigger notices. Continue only if you have verified the source and trust the app.

Understand the notice before continuing

Still have questions?

Here are common situations
and the next steps to take.

Chrome blocked the download. What should I do?

Open Chrome's downloads list and inspect the notice. If it only says the file is uncommon or unverified, and you have verified the official source, use the current version's Keep or continue option. If it reports a virus or malware, stop installing and contact the team.

Can't find “Open Anyway”?

Try opening EvoEngine Desktop once from Applications, then check System Settings → Privacy & Security. A school- or company-managed Mac may restrict this setting; contact your administrator.

Read Apple's official guidance
The app is “damaged” or “will damage your computer”?

These warnings differ from an unknown developer or uncommon download notice. Stop installation and send the warning to our team for review. Do not disable system protections or run terminal unlock commands.
