Today I tried to get students to install a piece of software on their personal laptops... 😬 Predictably, it did not go well... 😔 Most students have never installed anything in their lifes – which it totally fine, they're here to learn! More worringly, however, I could not fix one student's problem on #MacOS (Ventura 13.6): they get this error message even after successfully running the command >sudo xattr -cr /Applications/BootCaT.app. Any ideas what else we can do? #DigitalLiteracy

@ElenLeFoll "Most students have never installed anything in their lifes" is quite a shocking sentence

@ElenLeFoll @svenja It’s been a while since I’ve used a Mac but try pressing the Option key and see if the button changes. There might be an advanced option to trust it or something. Or check the permissions setting for App downloads. It might be hitting the app sandboxing.
