- In the pop-up warning message, click OK to close the message.
- Open your Mac System Preferences, and click Security & Privacy.
- In Security & Privacy > General > Allow apps downloaded from, a message displays stating "polaris" was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer. Click Open Anyway.
- After clicking Open Anyway, a confirmation box displays with the message macOS cannot verify the developer of "polaris”. Are you sure you want to open it? Click Open. The Coverity on Polaris binary runs in a new terminal, which prints a usage message and exits. Close this terminal window if it does not automatically close. You can now run the Coverity on Polaris CLI.
