macOS installation info post
Added 2020-11-17 07:22:39 +0000 UTCThese are the steps for installing the full game on macOS:
If you are installing Season 3 on macOS, I recommend that you either use "The Unarchiver", "Winrar" or "Keka". Place the .zip files in your Downloads folder and ensure that you unzip them into it. After unzipping, open a terminal and type the following and press enter after the commands:
cd ~/Downloads
cd ./BeingADIK-0.11.1-macOS
If you are installing Seasons 1/2 on macOS, unzip using these instructions:
1. Put the zip file in your Downloads folder.
2. Open a terminal and go to the downloads folder using:
cd ~/Downloads
3. Type “unzip” and a space, then drag/drop the zip file into the Terminal window.
4. Press Enter and the zip file will be unzipped, storing all files on your computer.
5. Wait until it's done. Type:
cd ./BeingADIK-0.8.3-mac
Seasons 1/2 and Season 3 instructions follow after completing the above steps.
Press enter and then type:
ls
Press enter and make sure that you see the app named BeingADIK.app
6. Change the permissions of all files in the app by typing:
chmod -R +x ./BeingADIK.app/*
Make sure that you are aware of spaces in the command.
7. Ctrl-click the app and choose "Open" from the context menu. The app should bounce and install for a while. Wait until it's done.
8. You may get an error saying that the app cannot be open because it's from an unidentified developer. Click cancel.
9. Ctrl-click the app again and choose "Open". This time the game should launch.
If that still doesn't work, try these steps:
1. Try to launch the app and receive an error message. (You may or may not have to keep the error open)
2. Click System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General
3. Click the "padlock" and ensure it is in the unlocked position
4. At the bottom of the tab, to the right of an error message, there's a button that says "Open Anyway". Click it.
5. Try to open the game again and there should be an additional button along with the error message that says "Open". Click it and the game should launch.
If you are experiencing long launch times and/or music and videos are not playing, try moving BeingADIK.app to the Apps directory.
Please note! Season 1/2 and Season 3 apps are both named BeingADIK.app. It is recommended to keep them in separate folders, as not to overwrite the games.

I have had success when I decided to try Unarchiver instead of Archiver Utility. This time I tried opening and got what Dr. PinkCake described with the app icon bouncing for quite a while a couple of minutes. Eventually it stopped, and about a minute or two later I got the window saying the file was kept from opening because could not be verified (which I've encountered before on other stuff). So, I dismissed that window and right-clicked, which by the way is control click on a Mac (Mac shortcut for Command click I believe) Success! The first time after downloading the update, it always does the "cannot be verified thing," but then right clicking on the 2nd attempt works. It bounces for a long time the 2nd time, but it eventually works. I hope this helps. On a separate issue, but possibly related, my game crashes...a lot. That could be related to my old Mac or the many different saves or both.

2025-05-27 16:37:16 +0000 UTCWho actually uses their Mac this way...going into terminals? Nobody I know does this. We got a Mac because we don't want to mess with this stuff.

2025-03-20 14:43:15 +0000 UTCVery frustrating. Managed to get the files to unzip compressed folders but control clicking the app keeps saying file is damaged or not complete after the "ls" command in the instructions. After spending the time to research the terminal commands I notice the instructions aren't even accurate. The command lines point to folders that doesn't even exist. It's even more frustrating when the developer responds by saying to follow the instructions when the terminal command structure to folders isn't even correct. Most non advanced users don't understand terminal lingo, I certainly don't but managed to do the research and understand a little more. Downloaded atleast 6 times and still get the damage or incomplete file error. Seems to me that the files are damaged on the server. Pricing is very very steep to think about it, 300$ a year membership for one early release episode that I can't even play on my Mac is absurd. Membership being cancelled.

2024-09-05 05:38:11 +0000 UTCIs anyone having an issue with animated scenes blacked out? I'm currently in version 0.8.3, playing through episode 1 and 2
David Francisco
2024-06-19 06:22:34 +0000 UTCAfter entering the first command i get message no such file found
Orsmis
2024-01-24 21:21:11 +0000 UTCin order for the game to open correctly, you have to wait until the whole file is unzip. Otherwise, it won't work. I had the same issue but I realized the the files were not done as I was attempting to move on to the next step.
Marcos Martinez
2024-01-13 14:51:37 +0000 UTCis the game compatible with Sonoma 14.0?

timmy
2023-04-17 15:20:37 +0000 UTCIf anyone else has trouble, I think there is a stray period in the steps above on step 5. After cd then a space continue with /BeingADIK-0.xxx and it should work for you

2023-04-13 02:31:41 +0000 UTCHow do I transfer PC-steam Save into this Mac season3 Launcher? I have Steam on the Mac but dont see the Save (because I obviously dont have season1-2 launcher on Mac)?.. Thank you!

2023-01-25 20:08:02 +0000 UTCFollowed all these steps, followed the updated instructions, too. Nothing works. giving up. Good game, but waaaaaay too complicated to get it working for Mac. Time to cancel the Patreon membership.
lookinaround
2023-01-24 09:36:52 +0000 UTCThat's good. Nothing should happen when you type in the permissions, that's how chmod works.
DrPinkCake
2023-01-02 06:32:10 +0000 UTCSo everything is perfect until step 6. I did "ls" and see BeingADIK.app amongst the results and when I type in step 6 to change permissions, nothing happens when I press enter

2023-01-01 21:42:15 +0000 UTCThe game starts working perfectly but its suddenly crash when start playin it for a while. any help please?
hansen harkim
2022-12-23 04:45:41 +0000 UTCFollowed the directions exactly, it does not work. I am able to unzip in terminal but starting with step 5 it doesn't do what you say it is supposed to do. It keeps saying: replace BeingADIK-0.9.1-mac/BeingADIK.app/Contents/MacOS/python? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename:
Network1111
2022-12-19 21:41:04 +0000 UTCI use a MAC and I'm having issues redownloading the updated version. I'm stuck in between Steps 5 and 6. For Step 5, I Typed: cd ./BeingADIK-0.9.1-mac/BeingADIK_Season3 and I only changed the middle numbers to reflect "0.9.1". Once I press enter I follow on to step 6 and I enter "ls" as instructed but after that I get an error stating "Operation not permitted". Can someone please help with this issue?

2022-12-19 21:38:09 +0000 UTCNevermind! Just restarted my Mac and it worked, I appreciate the step by step guide, was really helpful!! <3

2022-12-18 10:14:24 +0000 UTCSo I did all the steps but now it says the file cant be found afterwards, any tips?
Good Vibes
2022-12-18 10:09:33 +0000 UTCThis: 6. Try to launch the app and receive an error message. (You may or may not have to keep the error open) 7. Click System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General 8. Click the "padlock" and ensure it is in the unlocked position 9. At the bottom of the tab, to the right of an error message, there's a button that says "Open Anyway". Click it. 10. Try to open the game again and there should be an additional button along with the error message that says "Open". Click it and the game should launch. Worked for me perfectly when I downloaded the full Seasons 1-2 aka version 0.8.3, but now that I'm trying to open the Interlude+Episode 9 = 0.9.0 it says every time "can't be opened" and the "Open anyway" button doesn't appear where it did the first time. With this season 0.9.0 version I tried that other way by typing on the terminus etc but it always said something like "couldn't find, couldn't open". This gotta be annoying and frustrating for you to have to deal with man. I gotta take some classes to learn about these terminals and commands etc lol
And
2022-12-16 22:41:00 +0000 UTCThis works with all mac systems.

2022-12-16 21:41:57 +0000 UTCDrPrinkcake. I've followed all terminal instructions and extracted the app. When I go to open it, it bounces in my dock like it's trying to open and then just never opens. I have adjusted to allow apps from anywhere in mac security and preferences but the application will not open. Please advise.

2022-03-20 14:31:04 +0000 UTCeverything looked like it should but the some of the files weren't unzipped to the correct filetype.... so when I go to open then BeingADIK,app file it says its unable to open the app.
BrainDed
2022-03-20 08:36:03 +0000 UTCDid you download the correct version? Do you get an actual BeingADIK.app file after extracting? If not, you downloaded PC/Lin version.

Sean B
2022-03-15 12:58:19 +0000 UTCI deleted the files as you suggested and repeated the process, now after I paste chmod -R +x ./BeingADIK.app/* I got a "the file can't be found" error. You've done a great job with this game, but if it's this hard to update on Mac, I should probably just wait for it on Steam.
lookinaround
2022-03-07 20:49:57 +0000 UTCok, thanks! will try that. i guess I was afraid if I deleted the previous version of Being a DIK, that I would lose my saves.
lookinaround
2022-03-07 18:48:22 +0000 UTC"BeingADIK\ copy.app" This doesn't look right. After you unzip, you should end up with "BeingADIK.app". Make sure you don't have extra files. I would delete and extract again.
DrPinkCake
2022-03-07 18:41:28 +0000 UTCI downloaded and unzipped fine, and followed the instructions for both options above, but still get the same "You do not have permission to open the application “BeingADIK” error.

lookinaround
2022-03-07 18:22:23 +0000 UTCSo I downloaded the new version of Being a DIK from the Patreon Page for Mac (MacOS Monterey 12.0.1) but when trying to unzip it using Unarchiver, I get error messages reading the following: "Could not extract "BeingADIK.app/contents/Resources/autorun/game/movies_ep5.rp" from the "BeingADIK-0.8.1-macOS.zip" archive: Failed to write file" (This error message also appears for several other files like movies_ep5.rp, etc.) I have enough space to properly extract, but I'm still having no luck. I don't have any coding experience, so I don't know how to use terminal. If anyone has any experience or tips to extract the file properly, please let me know! I have downloaded and re-downloaded the zip file multiple times now and I'm desperate lol.
Kevin Gesell
2021-12-01 19:18:11 +0000 UTCHey there! I think my problems are coming from the unzipping of the zip file - I'm currently getting a lot of 'failed to write file' error messages

2021-11-28 18:30:42 +0000 UTCHi! I've not had any problems downloading the app and followed every step you mentioned in the beginning. But after all those steps it still won't launch, the icon shows in the bottom but nothing happens. What can I do?
Isak Garpdal
2021-11-28 16:31:44 +0000 UTCAre you using the unzip command from the terminal? If it still throws errors, the download is corrupt.

2021-11-22 18:16:11 +0000 UTCI'm not very computer savvy. I downloaded the mac zip file a half dozen times from DropMe and Mediafile. It downloads fine, but every time when unzipping, it crashes halfway through. So I erase the old zip file and start over. I did this about a half dozen times. Only unzips about 8 GB of the game. Is there an easy solution to what is happening? I am downloading full 19+GB zip files from the servers, but the unzip always crashes at this 8 GB mark. It just says "Winzip quit unexpectedly." Thanks.

2021-04-25 07:11:36 +0000 UTCPatching wasn't successful. You didn't overwrite some files, check so that it didn't create copies of the files you tried to replace. The fact that the presplash image showed, tells me that the new files where added properly, but the duplicates weren't. Try to patch it again.
DrPinkCake
2021-04-23 15:41:08 +0000 UTCHi Doc! Stoked to play the new Ep, thanks again. Catalina user here. I downloaded the patch, unzipped it, and descended down to the 'game' folder within the patch folder. I then opened up another tab in my finder, to the BeingADIK app, and descended down there, similarly, to the 'game' folder. I copied and pasted the entirety of the 'game' folder contents from the patch folder to the 'game' folder of the existing 6.1 version, and hit 'Replace' whenever prompted. When I open the game, it shows the new presplash page for a bit (although it doesn't autofit quite properly to my screen resolution, so I can't see all of the 'Loading...' text, for example), I get the spinning beach ball for a bit, then an error message of a non-responsive app for a second (which looks like it auto closes BAD, without my pressing anything). But then the game starts (no Dr. PinkCake splash page), but still as ver 6.1. In playing through a bit, it doesn't look like the update/patch took. Any suggestions? Thanks!

2021-04-23 15:37:24 +0000 UTCHi! Yes, there are instructions within the zipped patch. From what I've seen, the easiest way is to descend into the patch directories and copy-paste the content to your base game, as merging apps have mixed results on macOS. But that's what patching is in a nutshell. You copy .rpa files and more from one folder to another. You shouldn't have to set new permissions for the patch either as it's no executable file you're patching.

2021-04-19 11:27:04 +0000 UTCHi doc, thanks for the brilliant game! It has been my life saver. I’m wondering if there’s any instructions for how to patch ep7 on Mac? Thank you in advance.

2021-03-07 06:12:20 +0000 UTCI unzipped the file on my desktop and moved BeingADIK out of the file and did every instruction I could find many times over. I have moved the app into terminal and did the commands yet it still says The file /Users/myname/Desktop/BeingADIK.app/BeingADIK does not exist. When I do not drag the app into terminal and I follow the steps it still says "no such file or directory". Please help, I have put in around 6 hours trying to get this to work.

2021-03-06 23:10:12 +0000 UTCIt would help if you could say which step you get stuck on and describe your problem. The guide, as written, is correct. Following it precisely will make the game run on your macOS. If you need further assistance, join my discord server to see how I've helped others before you. Search for "mac" in the bug-report room for many examples.

2021-03-05 21:42:09 +0000 UTCI REALLY wanted to play this game after being obsessed with the demo. Now I am stuck being unable to play a game I paid for on BigSur11.2. Please help!

2021-03-05 18:42:25 +0000 UTCStep1 : If you don't know how to use the terminal to do basic "ls" and "cd". Just look it up on YouTube. Like what drpinkcake said, its no rocket science. how to open terminal on Mac : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw7Nd67_aFw how to use ls and cd : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPeC-GacLNA&t=1s Step2: follow the instruction that was posted. If you can't get it to work. Let them know what methods you have try and what the error messages you are getting. No-one can help you if all you just say is "Not Working" I hope this helps

2021-01-15 17:58:37 +0000 UTCSounds like you're not in the directory containing the game. Make sure that you do step 1 properly.

2021-01-13 11:50:11 +0000 UTCI'm getting an error that says "The file can't be found" when I try to open the application after following all of the above steps. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Glenn
2020-11-22 08:37:23 +0000 UTCHey everyone! I've read all the comments, placed the app on my desktop and entered the commands into the terminal, but when I type "ls", it still won't show the app. Anyone have this happen to them?? I'm positive I'm doing everything correctly according to the instructions.
D C
2020-11-21 17:02:53 +0000 UTCyeah this worked for me also so get beingADIK app onto desk top then follow glenn instructions do not use " " on end of commands though just for us morons

2020-11-19 21:50:07 +0000 UTCCheck Glenn's comment above. If you want visual aid, there's a conversation in the bug-report room on my discord server where I helped a user get his game started. If you join, you could see the exchange with a few pictures.

2020-11-18 21:02:45 +0000 UTCPersonally I just opened it and dragged the app into the desktop. Then open terminal "cd Desktop" then "ls" then put in the "chmod -R +x ./BeingADIK.app/". worked for me
Glenn
2020-11-18 17:45:21 +0000 UTCBecause Apple decided that apps have to be signed and developed on macOS. They don't trust cross-compiled apps and make it harder both for developers and users. It's not me who made these changes. These changes, made by Apple, even stopped my game from launching on Steam because of this unsigned issue. The steps are simple, take it one step at a time. If you own a mac, you really should be able to use the terminal window, it's a UNIX based machine.
DrPinkCake
2020-11-18 06:40:33 +0000 UTCIsn't their a simpler way to do this because I tried all the steps and even read what you said in the comments but I don't know how to make this thing work I am not very good with computers. Like why can't their be a direct link to the game?
Ddog10
2020-11-18 05:39:36 +0000 UTCYou need to change the directory to the folder where your app is. If you put the app on your desktop you type: cd /Users/YOUR USER NAME/Desktop If you then type: ls You should see either the app or the folder. If you see the app, do step 2. If you see the folder do: cd ./BeingADIK-v0.6.0-macOS Then step 2. Make sure you unzipped the game first.
DrPinkCake
2020-11-17 20:46:33 +0000 UTCI get a no such file or directory error. I've tried it a ton of different ways
S L
2020-11-17 19:52:54 +0000 UTCIf you don't have permission you need to be administrator and do the sudo command. sudo chmod -R +x ./BeingADIK.app/*
DrPinkCake
2020-11-17 18:34:01 +0000 UTCGreat!
DrPinkCake
2020-11-17 18:33:18 +0000 UTCtried all steps, still getting message saying I don't have permission. Problem with Sur update? I don't even get option of open anyway in security and privacy. When I open the get info page, it says I have read and write access.

2020-11-17 17:23:37 +0000 UTCFirst, check where you put the game. To make it easy, put it on the desktop and unzip it there. Then type cd /Users/YOUR USER NAME/Desktop/BeingADIK-v0.6.1-macOS Now you can continue from step 2.
DrPinkCake
2020-11-17 17:22:38 +0000 UTCI’m new to using terminal so I do the cd and then the BeingADik app but it immediately says no such file or directory. But I don’t know how to find the right directory. When I try step 2 nothing happens

2020-11-17 17:11:41 +0000 UTCWhere did it go wrong?, take a screenshot or just use your phone and snap a clear photo and post it here so DPC can see and double-check
Will Tran
2020-11-17 17:01:44 +0000 UTCYeahhhhh I tried following the instructions but it still wont open. I'm not as technologically advanced as some lol
Arv5895
2020-11-17 16:49:39 +0000 UTCyou can also drag and drop the file from Finder into Terminal and it will put the correct location into the "where the fuck are you" command address

2020-11-17 15:56:49 +0000 UTCHey, DrPinkCake,I've found that when it comes to the less technically inclined, a supplementary video of the process helps immensely.
