There is outdated info in the top box on the Installing ExifTool page (https://exiftool.org/install.html)
QuoteThis doesn't apply to the Windows version which unpacks the libraries into a temporary directory
Thanks. Fixed.

hey i know i am technically thread jacking here, but:
"The solution is to control-click on the pkg then select "Open" from the pop-up menu instead of just double-clicking. An alternative is to lower the security settings by changing "Allow applications downloaded from" to "Anywhere" in the General "Security & Privacy" System Preferences. (Read here or here for a full description.)"
is also not true anymore on macOS 15, Sequoia. so lame. you right click and try now, and see the attached. no straight path.

you have to know to go into System Settings (no longer System Preferences) go to the "Privacy & Security" setting (no longer "Security & Privacy, groan) and have to press "Open Anyway" down under the Security section, as shown:

An alternative for MacOS - as noted on the install page - and what I do:
exiftool -XAttrQuarantine= ExifTool-13.05.pkg
thanks! that is a nice alternative. : ) -J
I've updated the install page to reflect the MacOS 15 procedure.
