Installation

Get DocGoblin up and running on your system.

Windows Installation

  5. Click Install and wait for the installation to complete.

Windows security alert

Windows may warn you that the software is potentially dangerous. This happens because DocGoblin is new software. To resolve this:

Go to Start > Settings > Applications > Applications and Features. Change "Choose application origin" from Windows Store Only to Anywhere.

macOS Installation

  1. Download the latest macOS disk image (.dmg) from the downloads page.
  2. Locate DocGoblin-1.4.0.dmg in your Downloads folder and double-click it to mount the disk image.
  3. In the window that opens, drag the DocGoblin icon onto the Applications folder shortcut.
  4. Wait for the copy to finish, then eject the mounted disk image by right-clicking it on your desktop (or in Finder's sidebar) and choosing Eject.
  5. Open Launchpad or your Applications folder and click DocGoblin to launch it.

macOS security alert

The first time you launch DocGoblin, macOS may refuse to open it with a message like "DocGoblin can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software". This happens because DocGoblin is not yet notarized with Apple. To resolve this:

  1. Right-click (or Control-click) the DocGoblin icon in your Applications folder and choose Open.
  2. In the dialog that appears, click Open again to confirm.
  3. macOS will remember your choice and launch DocGoblin normally the next time.

If the Open button is missing, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll down to the security section, and click Open Anyway next to the DocGoblin entry.
