Install instructions

There is an issue in the Big Sur version of macOS, where you get the error message "You do not have permission to open the application "Cowlomb".

When I upload my application to itch.io it automatically gets compressed into a .zip file. Compressing the file is causing the issue.

To fix this, move the application to the Applications folder on your mac. Then open the terminal (press command + spacebar, and then write "terminal" in the search field to find it). Then type (or copy) these commands into the terminal. Press enter after each command.

chmod -R 755 /Applications/Cowlomb.app
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Cowlomb.app

You should be able to open the game now.
