Check the chip and system version
Choose About This Mac from the Apple menu. A Chip field names the Apple silicon chip, such as Apple M2. A Processor field naming Intel identifies an Intel Mac. Read the macOS version in the same window and write down both values.
- Apple silicon, macOS 15+
- The arm64 packages in build 130 match these two conditions. When installing another tag, read its Mac requirements before reusing this example.
- Apple silicon, older macOS
- The processor label matches, but this release asks for a newer system. Re-downloading the ZIP instead of the disk image will not change the minimum OS for its application.
- Intel processor
- The build 130 asset list has no Intel Mac application. The x86_64 Linux and Windows packages target different operating systems. Check the release you plan to use for an explicitly supported Intel Mac asset.

Open one copy of the application
- Choose lichii-macos-arm64.dmg or lichii-macos-arm64.zip from the release assets. Both formats deliver an Apple silicon app. Record the tag with your download.
- For the disk image, open the DMG in Finder and copy the app to Applications. For the ZIP, expand the archive and move the resulting application there. Open the copy you intend to keep.
- If upgrading an existing installation, keep a separate copy of your game saves before the new version gets a chance to use them. Keep track of which application you launched when comparing results.
Read the wording of the macOS alert
The build 130 release notes describe its Mac app as unnotarized. If macOS cannot verify the developer, first check the repository, filename and digest. Apple documents a per-app Open Anyway option in System Settings → Privacy & Security for a known, trusted app you have just tried to open.
A warning that the app will damage your computer calls for a different response. Stop and follow Apple’s guidance for detected malware. For a message about an unsupported system version, return to the chip and version checks above.
macOS FAQ
Will choosing the ZIP let me use build 130 on an Intel Mac?
Both Mac assets for this tag contain the arm64 app. An Intel CPU needs a Mac binary that explicitly supports Intel. Changing the archive format does not change the machine code inside.
My Mac has an M-series chip but runs macOS 14. Does build 130 match?
Its arm64 architecture matches your chip, but the release specifies macOS 15 or later. Check the OS requirement on the specific tag you intend to run.
Does an unidentified-developer warning mean the download was corrupted?
That alert concerns the developer and notarization. To check the file itself, compare its digest with the exact GitHub asset. If macOS specifically says the app will damage your computer, stop and follow Apple’s guidance for that alert.
