Mac Installation Addendum

  • There are three windows open on your screen NOW:
    1. This browser window, 
    2. The Mac OS Security & Privacy System Preferences window, and 
    3. A REAPER alert window titled READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY!! .
  • Position them so they are all completely visible before continuing. In case one or more of these windows is hidden, you can make it visible by activating the corresponding app (your browser, System Preferences, or REAPER) using Command-Tab, and then adjust its position. Read the rest of these instructions before continuing.
  • Switch back to REAPER, read the alert message on the screen there, and if ready to continue, click the OK button.
  • Once you click OK, there will be a file named Cohler Classical [n.n]m.ReaperConfigZip in front of you on the screen. Choose that file by clicking on it once, and then click the Open button.
    1. A confirmation dialogue will appear asking you ‘Import Configuration?’
    2. Click OK. The ReaScript console output window will disappear, and the Import configuration window will open.
    3. Click the Import button in the lower right corner of this window.
  • You will see REAPER importing all the Cohler Classical configuration files, and then REAPER will restart itself.

  • After REAPER restarts, you will be prompted by the Mac OS three separate times regarding three ‘.dylib’ files and saying each file “cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified“. The files are:
    1. reaper_ddpedit_64.dylib
    2. reaper_js_ReaScriptAPI64.dylib
    3. reaper_sws-x86_64.dylib
  • For each one of these prompts:
    1. Click the Cancel button ONCE
    2. Go to the Security and Privacy window where you will find the name of the ‘.dylib’ file listed. It will say the file was “blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer”. Next to that will be an Allow Anyway button. NOTE: You may have to scroll the window up or down on Mac OS versions 11 or later to find it.
    3. Click the Allow Anyway button.
  • Repeat the previous three steps for EACH of the ‘.dylib’ file messages as they appear.
  • When you have completed that process, you will be prompted with ONE MORE error message, from REAPER this time, in a window titled Project Load Warning. IGNORE this message, and click the OK button.
  • Then exit REAPER by selecting the REAPER => Quit REAPER menu command, or clicking the REAPER window close button (a solid red circle) in the upper left corner of the REAPER main window.
  • Launch REAPER again.
  • REAPER will now attempt to load each of the ‘.dylib’ files once again, and the Mac OS will again warn you that it does not recognize the developers, BUT there will now be an Open button available in each of those messages.
  • CLICK the Open buttons in EACH of the three ‘.dylib’ file messages.
  • The  ReaScript console output window will open with a message beginning “Loading Cohler Classical…”, and an Alert dialogue box will notify you that REAPER / Cohler Classical “Will restart now to activate new release…”
  • Click OK and REAPER will restart.

  • REAPER / Cohler Classical will now present you with a series of dialogue box queries in the following order. Choose the one that is relevant to you, and follow the on-screen instructions from there!
    1. Install a 14-day trial license?
    2. Install license code?
    3. Purchase license code?
    4. Exit (Yes), or ask again (No)?
  • NOTE: On subsequent launches of REAPER, you should not receive those annoying Mac OS messages again!
