Specific Installation Instructions

macOS

NeurobloxGUI will launch after the user acknowledges that the software was downloaded from the internet. The NeurobloxGUI app is code-signed through the Apple Developer Program.

Windows

Windows may display a "Windows protected your PC" SmartScreen warning:

  1. On the warning dialog, click More info.
  2. Click the Run anyway button that appears.
  3. Follow the installation wizard as normal.

Windows will remember your choice, so the warning will not appear again for this installer.

Linux

Linux does not block unsigned applications, but the .AppImage file must be marked as executable before it can run:

  1. In your file manager, right-click the .AppImage, open its Properties, and enable Allow executing file as program (or run chmod +x neuroblox-*.AppImage from a terminal).
  2. Double-click the file, or launch it from a terminal with ./neuroblox-*.AppImage.
