Mac ARM release broken

[glowingkitty]

the Mac ARM release cannot be opened. MacOS says the download is broken.
Using MacOS 13.2 on an MacBook Pro M1 (2020).

Showing the same issue here. Says the package is damaged and will not open. Same OS and Macbook Pro M1 Max.

Same.

This works:

`xattr -cr /Applications/Alpaca\ Electron.app/`

Then retry.

Same issues here: “Alpaca Electron” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.

Thank you @bakman2, this worked, but should off-course not be needed.

It is needed. There's no way around it. I don't have an app signing certificate (I don't want to buy one) so when you download the file, MacOS writes an extended attribute that tells the system that the file is downloaded from the internet. When you open the file, the system will check if the developer is recognized and whether it was downloaded from the internet. If it was downloaded and the developer is not recognized, then it will say the app cannot be run. The only way to get around this is to clear the file's extended attribute (the xattr -cr command) so that the system no longer thinks the file was downloaded from the internet.

Your RAM is full so it's using swap, which is very slow. If you're using a large mode (e.g. 30B or 65B), it will also take very long to start generating an output. Also on the first run, it has to load the model into RAM, so if your disk is slow, it will take a long time.

I would recommend you add it to the instruction in the installer.

I might add it to the FAQ instead of the MacOS installer.

I have m1 max with 64gb ram and 1tb ssd
I'll restart and try more and come back with news

How long did you wait for? I don't know the specs of ARM64 Macs, but it's possible that it's still loading the model into the RAM. The CPU usage from the screenshot seems to indicate that it's doing something.

Try waiting longer, maybe half an hour. I don't really know any other solution for this since I don't have an ARM64 Mac myself.

[snatvb]

Ok, I will try it later :)

[snatvb]

So, I tried again. I waited 30 minutes but it still doesn't work

macOS version does not seem to response or working. confirmed. waited long time, no response whatsoever.
