🔸 Hardware Requirements:

  • 4 GB RAM

  • 2 CPU Cores

Troubleshooting for MacOS

If you encounter the error "Xardian.app is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the trash." when trying to open the Xardian Node Operator Software on your MacOS device, follow these steps to resolve the issue:

1️⃣ Launch Terminal from the Applications folder (Finder > Applications > Utilities > Terminal)

2️⃣ Get the Path to Xardian.app

  • Hold the Alt/Option key and right-click on the Xardian app. From the context menu, select "Copy 'Xardian' as Pathname". This will copy the path to the Xardian app.

3️⃣ Run command into Terminal and hit Enter

  • In the Terminal, type the following command, replacing with the actual path you copied in Step 2: xattr -c <insert the pathname to Xardian.app>

  • For example, if the path to xardian.app is /Users/X/Desktop/Xardian.app, the command would be: xattr -c /Users/xx/Desktop/Xardian.app

4️⃣ Open the Xardian app Again

Once you've run the command, try opening the Xardian app again. The error should be resolved, and you should be able to access the software.
