Installation

Method 1: Download the Precompiled Installation Package

Due to the requirement for software signing on Windows and macOS (which involves a significant cost), the software packages released in this repository do not have a software signature. Therefore, users must allow the installation of packages from unknown sources during installation. The specific steps are as follows:

1.1 Download the installation package for your platform

Download Link

1.2 Installation

1.2.1 Windows(win10 or later) Installation

Double-click the downloaded .exe installation package and follow the steps below, allowing the installation of apps from unknown publishers.

windows installation 1

windows installation 2

1.2.2 macOS Installation

  1. Copy the .app file extracted from the .zip file to the /Applications/ folder.

  2. Open the terminal and execute:

sudo spctl --master-disable
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/TeslaDashcamPro.app

  1. Launch the software from the Launchpad to verify that it runs correctly.

  2. Restore system security checks:

sudo spctl --master-enable

Command Explanation:

  • sudo spctl --master-disable disables Gatekeeper on macOS. Gatekeeper is a security feature that controls whether macOS allows the installation and running of applications from sources that are not from Apple-certified developers or unsigned.
  • sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/TeslaDashcamPro.app removes the com.apple.quarantine attribute, which macOS uses to mark files downloaded from the internet, email, or external devices (like USB drives). This flag triggers additional security checks, such as verifying if the file is from a trusted developer or has been tampered with.
  • If you encounter the following warning when launching the software, it means the previous steps were not successful:
