MASSO Link - macOS Instructions

This guide explains how to install and run MASSO Link on an Apple macOS computer.

 


 

 

After downloading the MASSO Link (.dmg) file, double-click it to mount the disk image.

 


 

 

Once the image is mounted, drag the MASSO Link application to the Desktop or into another folder of your choice.

 

 

WARNING: The MASSO Link application must be extracted from the disk image before it is run. Running the application directly from the mounted image may cause it to fail.

 


 

 

Right-click the mounted disk image and select Eject.

 

The .dmg file can now be deleted if it is no longer required.

 


 

 

Double-click the MASSO Link icon to start the application.

 

INFORMATION: On Apple computers using an M1 or later chip, macOS may prompt to install Rosetta if it is not already installed. You must install Rosetta to run MASSO Link, then relaunch the application.

 


 

 

On first launch, macOS will display a warning stating that the developer cannot be verified.

 

Click Cancel to proceed.

 

INFORMATION: This is a normal macOS security behaviour and only needs to be handled once.

 


 

 

Open the Apple menu and select System Preferences (or System Settings, depending on macOS version).

 


 

Open Security & Privacy.

 


Step 8 – Allow MASSO Link to Run

 

You will see a message indicating that MASSO Link was blocked.

 

Click Open Anyway, then close the window.

 


Step 9 – Confirm Application Launch

 

 

Double-click the MASSO Link icon again.

 

When prompted, click OK to confirm that you want to open the application.

 


 

 

On first use, MASSO Link will create a file named MASSO_Settings.dat in the same folder as the application.

 

This file stores configuration data such as:

 

  • Machine name

  • MASSO IP address

  • Window position

 

A confirmation message will be displayed when the file is created.
