Viper

Making FPGAs more accesible to everyone through the power of AI.

macOS Main Method

In your terminal run

npm install viper-desktop
npx viper

⚠️ PLEASE READ ⚠️

macOS Users (if using download) - Important Installation Instructions

If you're downloading Viper Desktop for macOS, you may see a "damaged" or "can't be opened" message. This is normal for unsigned apps downloaded from the internet.

To run the app:

1. Right-click on "Viper Desktop.app"
2. Select "Open" from the context menu
3. Click "Open" in the security dialog that appears

Alternative method: If the above doesn't work, open Terminal and run:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine "Viper Desktop.app"

This is a macOS security feature, not a bug in the app. The app is safe to use!
