  3. Drag the `Shikari.app` file into the terminal
  4. Press enter and type in your password

  Notes:

  * `Shikari.app` is the file that appears after unzipping the downloaded file
  * After step 3, the terminal command should look something like this: `sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Users/{your name}/Downloads/Shikari.app`
