### Using Pre-Built Tableau Log Viewer on newer Mac machines

If you are trying to open a downloaded pre-built version of Tableau Log Viewer on an Apple Silicon Mac, this may fail as the application is not code-signed.
You can code-sign the application yourself to work around this limitation.

1. Create a self signed cert specifically for code signing
    1. Open the "Keychain access" utility. You might get prompted to "Open Passwords" or "Open Keychain Access", select the latter.
    2. Go to Menu > Keychain access > Certificate Assistant > Create Certificate...
    3. Provide a name like "self-signed-cert-for-coding", select Identity: "Self Signed Root", select Certificate type: "Code Signing"
    4. Create certificate
2. Sign the TLV application. In a terminal do:
    ```
    # Go to the directory where you copied the tlv application, assuming it was the Application folder, you would do:
    > cd /Applications
    # Use the name of your certificate
    > sudo codesign -fs "self-signed-cert-for-coding" --deep tlv.app
    ```
3. Try to open TLV. If it still being blocked, go to next step
4. Open System Settings > Privacy And Security. Scroll down a look for a notice about tlv "tlv was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer". Click on the "Open Anyway" button.
    - Alternative. In Finder, go to the folder where TLV is. Right click the TLV app, then hold Shift and click "Open". In the dialog select to "Open Anyway"
5. Open TLV again, if everything went well, TLV should open without warnings now.
