Installation

You can download the latest version of the program from the Releases page.

Or you can install the program using homebrew. The program has not currently reached the popularity threshold for inclusion in the official homebrew repositories. You can help by giving the Radiola project a star and/or start a watch. Right now you can use my Tap to install the program using homebrew.

First, make sure you have installed homebrew if you haven't yet.

Then add radiola tap. You only need to do this once.

brew tap sokoloffa/radiola

Install the program

brew install --cask --no-quarantine radiola

Why you need the "--no-quarantine" parameter?
MacOS marks all files downloaded from the Internet as quarantined. When you run a quarantined program, OS displays the message «Radiola can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software". Of course, the new program is downloaded from the Internet, so don't mark it as quarantined use the "--no-quarantine" option
.
