Running your Mac with SIP disabled?

To use the Local Terminal component on a Mac with System Integrity Protection (SIP) disabled, you will need to run a less secure version of the Local Terminal Component.

Note: If you haven’t disabled SIP on your Mac, it is enabled by default. Please download the regular local terminal installer instead. Prompt Local Terminal Component

Is this unsecured version safe to install?

In short, yes.

The standard version of the Prompt local terminal component performs a check to ensure that the only process it connects to is a signed copy of Prompt 3. If System Integrity Protection is disabled on your Mac for any reason, we cannot perform this check, which prevents Prompt from communicating with the local terminal component. The insecure version of the local terminal component offered on this page bypasses this check.

What is System Integrity Protection (SIP)?

Per Apple:

“System Integrity Protection (SIP) in macOS protects the entire system by preventing the execution of unauthorized code. The system automatically authorizes apps that the user downloads from the App Store. The system also authorizes apps that a developer notarizes and distributes directly to users. The system prevents the launching of all other apps by default.”
