Installing QGIS (macOS)

1. Download qgis-macos-ltr.dmg
2. Double-click qgis-macos-ltr.dmg
3. Drag QGIS to your Applications folder
4. Double-click on QGIS to start it.
   • If you get a security warning, and QGIS won’t start, try right-clicking on QGIS and then clicking Open. (You’ll only need to do this once; thereafter, QGIS will start normally.)
5. Drag QGIS from your Applications folder onto your Dock (so you won’t have to go hunting for it.)

Whew! That was complicated… 😉
