macOS



Note: The macOS apps on Terrain Cartography do not work on macOS 10.12 Sierra or later. You can still run the apps with the Terminal on macOS 10.12 and later:
  • Download the .jar version of the app
  • Decompress the downloaded file
  • Drag and drop the directory containing the .jar file onto the Terminal app (or open the Terminal app and change the working directory to the directory containing the .jar file)
  • In the Terminal window type: java -jar PyramidShader.jar
  • In the command above, replace PyramidShader.jar with the name of the .jar file

If you use macOS 10.11 or earlier, and you get the error message “The program is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash”, then follow the steps below:
  • Open System Preferences and the “Security & Privacy” options
  • Click the padlock at the bottom if it is locked
  • Set “Allow applications downloaded from:” to “Anywhere”.
  • Keep the System Preferences open, but go back to the Finder window
  • Open MapAnalyst. It should work this time ...although you still get: “MapAnalyst is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?” Click “Open”
  • Now set “Allow applications downloaded from:” back to the default "Mac App Store and identified developers"

You won't need to do this every time you run the app. It should open fine from now on.

Apps from Terrain Cartography are not supported on older Mac hardware with PPC processors or Macs with Intel 32 bit processors.
