Can't start server on OSX

Submitted by Marburc on #1

Hello,

I have downloaded the dmg file, opened it, and dragged it to applications folder. When I now double click on the VirtualHereServer icon in Applications, instead of starting the server, it opens a window asking me to install osxsdriver. I installed it but didn't helped me any further.
What am I missing out here?

OK yes there is a bug in OSX big sur which doesnt display and approval notice. I dont know why apple has bugs such as these basic ones. There is meant to be a popup saying "Allow Kernel Extension from VirtualHere Pty. Ltd. and approve in Security & Preferences"

Since that message is not appearing you will need to turn off SIP for the time being and just run virtualhere server again after doing that

(To Disable SIP: Boot into recovery mode by holding down ⌘+R while starting up your computer. After you're in, go to Utilities > Terminal in the menu bar. In the terminal, type in csrutil disable to disable SIP, then reboot)
