Installing Teaser-Factory

Current version: v0.5.20  ·  Choose your operating system:

Installation on macOS

1. Download the installer

Download the .pkg file.

Download macOS installer (.pkg)

2. Open the installer

Double-click the downloaded .pkg file and follow the installation wizard.

Security notice — Gatekeeper

Because Teaser-Factory is currently not distributed via the Mac App Store and does not yet carry an Apple developer certificate, macOS will block the first launch with this message:

"Teaser-Factory.pkg" cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

This is not an indication of malware — it simply means the app was signed outside the App Store. You can lift the block manually:

  1. Open System Settings (Apple menu → System Settings).
  2. Select Privacy & Security.
  3. Scroll down to the Security section.
  4. You will see a message: "Teaser-Factory.pkg was blocked …" — click "Open Anyway".
  5. Confirm with your macOS password or Touch ID.
  6. Relaunch the installer — it will now open normally.

ℹ This step is only required when installing a new version for the first time.

3. Complete installation

Follow the installation wizard steps. Teaser-Factory is installed into /Applications. Afterwards you will find it in Launchpad and Finder.

Installation on Windows

1. Download the installer

Download the .exe file.

Download Windows installer (.exe)

2. Run the installer

Double-click the downloaded .exe file.

Windows & browser protection — this is normal

Because Teaser-Factory is not yet widely distributed, Chrome and Windows may show security warnings at two different points. This is not a sign of malware — just follow these steps:

  1. During the Chrome download: Chrome may show "This file is dangerous" or block it. Click the ⋮ chevron next to the download entry → "Keep anyway" or "Keep dangerous file".
  2. On first launch (SmartScreen): If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click "More info" → "Run anyway".
  3. Follow the installation wizard.

ℹ These warnings only appear while the app's user base is small. They disappear automatically as adoption grows.

3. Enter license on first launch

After installation, Teaser-Factory will start and ask for your license key. You received it by email after registering.

Download the .run file.

Download Linux installer (.run)
