Describe the bug
I want to download and install the Airshipper app for mac, but I am unable to open the installer correctly.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to https://www.veloren.net/download/ and download the .zip file
  2. Unzip the file
  3. Double click on the icon of the program
  4. Instead of opening the program, it opens like a text file

Expected behavior
Airshipper program should open like a .dmg or a normal Mac program, not like a text file

see #120 for details. You need to mark airshipper as executable beforehand.

Thanks Songtronix. I don't know how to mark a program as executable, I guess it's by running the chmod -x airshipper command?
I did this but nothing has changed, the program is behaving the same way when I double-click on it.

This is what I did to solve the issue. It would be helpful to include it in the documentation for other newbies like me.

  1. Go to the folder where the airshipper file is located and open the Terminal there.
  2. Execute the following command:
chmod a+rwx airshipper

Go back to Finder and double-click on the icon of the program. The program should execute normally.

because it's chmod +x. a+rwx is not needed. Devils details I know. I close this in favor of #120 as ideally I want to ship an installer of some sort which makes all the terminal hassle redundant.
