## Known issues with installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### macOS:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We removed notarization from our build pipeline because of the risk of Apple certification revocation (
|
||
|
|
see https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/discussions/6341). Unfortunately this will require extra steps when installing
|
||
|
|
Bisq on macOS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please follow the guide at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491 in the section If you want to open an app that
|
||
|
|
hasn't been notarized or is from an unidentified developer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are running already macOS Ventura (13.0+) you need to do following to be able to start Bisq:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enter following command in Apple Terminal `sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Bisq.app`
|
||
|
|
hit enter, and you will be prompted to enter your password to be able to execute the command as super user
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Windows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We removed the developer code signing for the same reason mentioned above.
|
||
|
|
For Windows you just have to ignore the warning after you have verified the installation file yourself and proceed with
|
||
|
|
the installation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is a known issue with Anti Virus software. We got several reports from users running into different problems.
|
||
|
|
Either the AV software blocks Bisq or Tor, delete files in the data directory [2] or app directory [1] or cause such a
|
||
|
|
long delay at startup that Tor gets terminated and a file remains locked which can cause that Bisq cannot be started
|
||
|
|
afterwards. To resolve that you need to restart Windows then the lock get released. We are working on solutions to fix
|
||
|
|
those issues.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you use Crypto currencies on your Windows system be aware that Windows is much more vulnerable to malware than Linux
|
||
|
|
or OSX. Consider to use a dedicated non-Windows system when dealing with cryptocurrencies.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Linux:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hint for Debian users:
|
||
|
|
If you have problems starting Bisq on Debian use: `/opt/bisq/bin/Bisq`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If your Linux distro does not support `.deb` files please follow this instruction:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
cd ~/Downloads
|
||
|
|
mkdir tmp
|
||
|
|
cd tmp
|
||
|
|
ar x ../Bisq-64bit-1.9.11.deb
|
||
|
|
sudo tar Jxvf data.tar.xz
|
||
|
|
sudo cp -rp opt/Bisq /opt/
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That instruction is not tested on many different distros. If you encounter problems please report it in a Github issue
|
||
|
|
so we can improve it.
