+====== Rhinoceros was not downloaded from the App Store ======
+> **NOTE:** // The following presumes you are using macOS Sierra (10.12) or later.  For similar dialogs on previous versions of macOS, please see [[https://support.apple.com/kb/ph18657?locale=en_US|this Apple Support Topic]].//
+===== Problem =====
+Depending on your System Preferences, when you go to launch Rhino for Mac for the first time, you may be presented with a warning dialog that says:
+**"Rhinoceros.app" can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the App Store.**
+{{:rhino:mac:rhino-mac-app-store-warning-01.png|}}
+===== Solutions =====
+There are two options for getting around this restriction:
+  - Change your Security & Privacy preferences to allow non-App Store applications
+  - Make an "exception to the rule" for Rhino for Mac
+Let's cover each option in that order...
+**Option 1: Change your Security & Privacy preferences**
+Navigate to //System Preferences// > //Security & Privacy// > //General// (tab).  Locate the //Allow apps downloaded from:// section...
+{{:rhino:mac:rhino-mac-app-store-warning-02.png|}}
+If the dialog is "locked," click the padlock at bottom to "unlock" the dialog to make changes.
+Now, select the App Store and identified developers option.  You can now close the dialog.
+When you attempt to launch Rhinoceros again, you will be presented with a different warning dialog that will allow you to Open Rhinoceros.  Once you open Rhinoceros, you will not be presented with this warning again.
+** Option 2: Make an exception**
+If you would prefer to not change your //Security & Privacy// settings, that is fine.  You can make an exception for Rhino for Mac.  To do this, you need to Open Rhinoceros is a special way the first time...
+Find Rhinoceros, likely either in your //Applications// folder, or in your //Dock//.  Now, instead of left clicking the Rhinoceros icon, you need to right (or Option) click the icon.  This will present a menu, and select the //Open// option.

+Now, you will be presented with a different warning dialog that will allow you to Open Rhinoceros.  Once you open Rhinoceros, you will not be presented with this warning again.
