Installing qBittorrent CLI on macOS

Supported macOS Versions

The following macOS versions are supported:

It might be possible to run qBittorrent CLI on earlier Mac OS X versions using mono runtime and platform-agnostics packages.

The application package is not signed, so you have to override Gatekeeper settings on macOS 10.15 and newer.

The installation package is a macOS Installer file with .pkg extensions. It is named in the following way:

qbittorrent-cli-<version>.pkg

where <version> is the version of the package.

For example the package of version 1.0.0.0 will have name qbittorrent-cli-1.0.0.0.pkg.

You can download the installation package either from Github Releases page:

Open the Finder and go to the folder where the downloaded package file resides (~/Downloads by default).
Right-click (or Ctrl+click) on the downloaded file and click Open in the context menu.
Click Open in the popup window.
Follow the setup wizard to complete the installation.

Alternatively you can install the package from the Terminal:

cd to the folder where the downloaded package file resides (~/Downloads by default):
```
cd ~/Downloads/
```
Run the following command (replace <version> with actual package version):
```
sudo installer -pkg qbittorrent-cli-<version>.pkg -target /
```

Open the Terminal and run the following command:

sudo /usr/local/qbittorrent-cli/uninstall
