Install Rig on Mac
Rig is a macOS app (13+), Apple Silicon and Intel. Prefer the install command during beta — it picks the right architecture and avoids some Gatekeeper friction on unsigned builds.

Install with curl (recommended)
curl -fsSL https://userig.app/install.sh | bash
Copy from the download page if you want the one-liner next to the latest version string.
Install from DMG
- Download the arm64 or Intel DMG from userig.app/download.
- Open the DMG and drag Rig into Applications.
- Launch from Applications (first open may need right-click → Open).
Gatekeeper / “unidentified developer”
Beta builds may not be Developer ID–notarized yet. If macOS blocks the app: System Settings → Privacy & Security → allow Rig, or right-click the app → Open once. The curl installer is usually smoother.
First launch
- Grant any folder or network prompts you need for your projects.
- Add a project — see Add a project and start it.
- Optional: create a cloud account later for Live Link, sync, and Continuity.
