### 🍎 macOS Installation Notes
After downloading and installing VidBee on macOS, you may encounter a "file is damaged" error when trying to run the application. This is due to macOS security restrictions on applications downloaded from the internet.
```bash
xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/VidBee.app/
```
This command removes the quarantine attribute that macOS applies to applications downloaded from the internet, allowing VidBee to run properly without the "file is damaged" error.
