Open the Downloaded DMG File

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

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

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

Remove Security Quarantine

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

Run CrossOver at Least Once

Before using TurtleSilicon, you must launch CrossOver at least once. This is crucial because:

• CrossOver needs to initialize its internal structure
• It creates necessary directories and configuration files
• Without this step, TurtleSilicon may show "CrossOver is damaged" errors

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.

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

Grant App Management Access

When you click on "Patch CrossOver" in TurtleSilicon, the app will request App management access. This permission is required to:

• Modify CrossOver application files
• Install necessary patches and components
• Configure CrossOver for optimal performance

To grant this permission:

You're Ready to Go!

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

• Set your CrossOver path
• Select your WoW version (Vanilla, TBC, WotLK, Turtle WoW, or Project Epoch)
• Set your game directory
• Apply patches and start gaming!
