Choregraphe installation (Mac OS - Apple Silicon)

This page walks you through the steps needed to install Choregraphe on a Mac with Apple Silicon and macOS Monterey (12.5).

1. Download Choregraphe (2.8.6) for Mac from https://www.aldebaran.com/en/support/nao-6/downloads-softwares . Be sure to download the binaries.

2. Move the binaries folder to the /Applications folder. Unzip the folder there.
   
   

Then, we need to disable almost all of macOS’s security. Note that this might harm your Mac and could lead to potentially dangerous situations. The following steps are based on http://support.old.unitedrobotics.group/support/discussions/topics/80000657453/page/last.

1. Open a Terminal

2. Navigate to the /Applications folder

3. Run sudo spctl --add choregraphe-suite-2.8.6.23-mac64

4. Run sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine choregraphe-suite-2.8.6.23-mac64

Now, you should be able to start choregraphe. For this, navigate to the folder choregraphe-suite-2.8.6.23-mac64and run the command ./choregraphe

If this doesn’t work you might have to disable more security layers with sudo spctl --master-disable. Restart and try again.
