Filebot Corrupt on install (when installing from a remote folder)

I am trying to get 5.0.0 installed on my M1 MacBook Air. I keep getting an error message during the install "Filebot is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash." I have tried both the intel and apple silicone versions. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Figured it out. My default download directory is on my nas server. The filebot pkg does not install from a network mounted drive and will fail. I copied it over locally and it installed just fine.

macOS does not like installing software from a remote sources or non-standard folders for some reason. You'll want to always download into the Download folder and then run from there.

I have a similar issue when trying to install via HomeBrew:

You may need to run the application via
Right-Click ➔ Open to indicate to macOS that you know what you are doing:

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:

Alternatively, you can use the
--no-quarantine flag during installation:
Code: Select all
brew install filebot --force --no-quarantine
