Installation Instructions
If you have a MATLAB license it is recommended to use MIB for MATLAB environment distribution of MIB suitable for Windows, MacOS and Linux.
Otherwise use the standalone versions of MIB compiled for your operating system.

Damaged and Can't Be Opened
In some cases, perhaps on newer MacOS releses you may see the following message box:
When an application gets downloaded from any source other than those that Apple seems suited, the application gets an extended attribute "com.apple.Quarantine".
This triggers the message:
"[application] is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Bin."
This can be fixed by removing this attribute and restarting the installer:
- Open a console
- Type (where [path/to/application.app] is location of MIB installer):
>> xattr -c [path/to/application.app]
- Press Next
- MIB must be installed into the default installation directory
/Applications/MIB
- If you have not previously installed the MATLAB Compiler Runtime (MCR) it will be automatically downloaded and installed
Install MCR into the default installation directory
