Installation Guide

Follow these simple steps to install TurtleSilicon on your Mac

1

Open the Downloaded DMG File

After downloading, locate the TurtleSilicon.dmg file in your Downloads folder and double-click it to open.

Tip:

The DMG file will mount as a disk image on your desktop or in Finder's sidebar.

2

Drag TurtleSilicon.app to Applications

From the opened DMG window, drag the TurtleSilicon.app icon to your Applications folder. You can do this by:

  • Opening a new Finder window and navigating to Applications
  • Hit CMD+Space and enter /Applications and double click on the Applications folder

Then simply drag and drop the TurtleSilicon.app into the Applications folder.

3

Remove Security Quarantine

Since the app is not signed by Apple, you need to remove the quarantine flag. Open Terminal and run this command:

xattr -cr /Applications/TurtleSilicon.app
How to open Terminal:

Press Cmd+Space, type "Terminal", and press Enter. Or go to Applications > Utilities > Terminal.

4

Launch TurtleSilicon

You can now open TurtleSilicon from your Applications folder or by pressing Cmd+Space and typing "TurtleSilicon".

Or just double click it in the Applications folder.

5

Grant File Access Permissions

When you first run TurtleSilicon, macOS will ask for permissions to access files on your computer. This is completely normal and necessary for the app to:

  • Access your CrossOver installation directory
  • Access your Turtle WoW client directory
  • Install the necessary patches and files
Privacy Notice:

TurtleSilicon only accesses the specific directories you choose and does not collect or transmit any personal data.

You're Ready to Go!

Once TurtleSilicon is running, follow the in-app instructions to:

  • Set your CrossOver path
  • Set your Turtle WoW directory
