```bash
influxd
```
{{% warn %}}
#### Influxd cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.
With the latest release of MacOS Catalina some binaries cannot be run without first
being authorized. To allow these files to run open Spotlight search (⌘ + space) and
type "Security". Open the Security & Privacy panel and click "Allow Anyway".
Next time you run influxd you will be prompted to click "Open" and Influxd will run.
This will be resolved soon.
