The filebot.rb package is marked as :fails_gatekeeper_check and may print a deprecation warning message during install. You can safely ignore this warning if you don't care about Apple code signing.


If you are using the GUI application for the first time, then you may need to launch FileBot via Finder ➔ Right-Click FileBot.app ➔ Open to indicate to the system that you know what you're doing:
