It still doesn’t work and gives me this message. It shows up in grasshopper but does work. Any idea how to fix it ?
Have a look at this one here:
This is an issue. Not sure about getting it notarized, but you be able to able to remove the quarantine.
You can try and run this command in your terminal
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine path/to/your.dylib
where you replace the path with the actual path of your .dylib file.
DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY. I’ve literally just copied this from an LLM response, so take it with a grain of salt.
If anyone has an apple developer account, would you be up for helping getting it notarized?
Hi! Thank you for the Dendro plug-in. It’s priceless to anyone who has been working with OpenVDB for modeling purposes and 3D printing. I’ve waiting for the MacOS version (Apple Silicon compatible) and yesterday I found this post.
In order to make it work I did the following steps:
-
Get the files from Timo’s previous posts and put them in them in the components folder (Open Grasshopper>File>Special Folders>Components folder… A new Finder Window with the components folder open. To keep it tidy, create a Dendro folder inside it and put the files in there.
-
Reboot Rhino and Grasshopper. The tools will be there, but if you try to use them the infamous ““libDendroAPI.dylib” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software” will appear. In order to solve it, go to System Settings>Privacy & Security and confirm the exception to use it anyway. Next time you try to use it in Grasshopper, it will ask if it’s ok to use it. Confirm and proceed.

If you don’t have Homebrew installed on your Mac, before doing the 4th step, execute in Terminal:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
- Last, to solve the final issue for the correct execution of the Dendro components (“Solution exception: Unable to load shared library…”), open a Terminal window and type:
brew install boost cmake c-blosc openvdb tbb zlib
This should solve the issues. Reboot both Rhino and Grasshopper and enjoy this amazing toolset!

Thank you so much for these detailed install instructions. Thats what everybody here has been waiting for. haha
I still wasn’t able to do the 4. step. This is what it shows in the terminal when I paste in “brew install boost cmake c-blosc openvdb tbb zlib”
Do you know why it says command cant be found ?
After putting the following command in the terminal i was able to finish step four and now everything works! Thank you again! Thats a huge win for mac users.
cd /opt/homebrew/bin/
PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin
echo export PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin >> ~/.zshrc

Thank you very much for the detailed guide. It worked exactly as described for my friends, and Dendro is now running on their MacBooks. Unfortunately, it does not work on mine.
I have a MacBook Pro 13" with an M1 chip (2020), while my friends have the 14" and 16" M1 Pro chip models. Could this difference be the cause of the issue?
I also do not receive any security prompt in Step 2 when opening the application. I can trigger the security settings prompt only manually when I try to double-click the .dylib file in the components folder.
All terminal commands execute without any issues. However, when I try to use the Dendro components, I get the following error message:
“1. Solution exception: Unable to load shared library ‘libDendroAPI.dylib’ or one of its dependencies. In order to help diagnose…oAPI.dylib’ (relative path not allowed in hardened program), ‘/usr/lib/liblibDendroAPl.dylib’ (no such file, not in dyld cache)”
I would really appreciate any help with this issue.
solved the issue! all I had to to is uncheck the “opening with rosetta” for the rhino 8 application. everything is working great now.
Dendro Mac rhino7_8.zip (3.8 MB)
Here are the compiled files for Rhino 7 and 8 — maybe they help someone!
