Please note, that Deadbeef build for Mac is not code-signed, and therefore Gatekeeper will not allow it to run by default.

Here’s how you can bypass Gatekeeper:

These steps need to be repeated after each re-download of Deadbeef.

macOS Sequoia:

• Right click Deadbeef icon, click “Open” in the menu.
• Open macOS System Settiongs, “Privacy & Security” pane, and scroll down to the bottom.
• There will be a prompt to run Deadbeef “anyway”, which you should choose.

Older macOS / before Sequoia:

• Open Privacy & Security in System Settings, and scroll down to the bottom.
• Allow running applications from Unidentifier Developers.
• Right click Deadbeef icon, click “Open” in the menu.
• The next dialog will tell you the application cannot be run – press Cancel.
• Repeat the same step – Right click, then click Open in the menu.
• Now the app will run normally.

Linux distribution packages

Please note: these packages install deadbeef to /opt/deadbeef.

Install using sudo dpkg -i on Debian/Ubuntu distros, or sudo pacman -U on ArchLinux.
