- Make sure you are on an Apple Silicon Mac (M1, M2, M3, M4...) running macOS 11 Big Sur or newer.
- Download and open BalrogTC-Installer.pkg.
- Follow Continue → Continue → Install, keeping your internet connection on. The installer is a small stub (~4 KB) that downloads the client from our update server during the installation.
- The client is installed in ~/Applications/BalrogTC, inside your own user folder - no administrator password required.
Security warning (Gatekeeper)
The installer is not signed, so macOS may block it on the first run. If that happens:
- Right-click the .pkg file and choose Open, or
- Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
This is a one-time step - after that the client opens normally, without any warning.
