I just got a brand new macBook (macBook Air, 16GB with ARM M4 chip) and I am trying to install ColdFusion2025, but I get an error saying that the downloader can't be opened because it can't be verified. Plus see screenshot. Can anybody at Adobe help me install ColdFusion2025?

Checking this.

@johnbarrett, can you check the Known Issues section in https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/release-note/coldfusion-2025-release-notes.html for the workaround? If it still does not work, let me know.

thanks so much for the help @nimitsharma and @Vamsee! I checked the Adobe website, and it says that the requirement is ARM for macOS. I don't see a workaround on the Adobe site. I checked on my mac, and I found out that if you go to System Settings> Privacy & Security you can click on "open anyway" but when I do, java is blocked (see attachment). I do click the button to open anyway, but that didn't seem to work. I can check that my java version is indeed JDK 21, which I read is the java version for ColdFusion2025. Is there a terminal command that I should run against the installer. Thanks again for all your help!

Lol, did Adobe forget to sign it ?

Just run command box and start it with CF2025, a lot more flexible

Commandbox stable is not ready yet for ACF 2025, only the version 6.2 alpha

Aloha John, You can also use Docker. This docker command will pull the latest... docker pull adobecoldfusion/coldfusion:latest-2025 Seems to work fine. If you don't use Docker, I highly recommend it for both development and production.

This is a permission issue..This is how I resolved it. 1. Double click the installer dmg file. It will open a popup with installer. 2. Copy the installer, and paste it inside your User folder. 3. Open terminal at the location and give permission: chmod -R 775 ColdFusion\ 2025\ Installer.app 4. Go inside the installer: cd ColdFusion 2025 Installer.app/Contents/MacOS 5. invoke executable: ./adobe_cf This worked for me
