And inside that folder, there should be many other files:
You should also see this file called AssetRipper
.
Now go back to the AssetRipperGUI_mac64
folder and select it. Then go to Finder
, Services
, New Terminal at Folder
as shown.
Now you should see the terminal open:
Now you'll need to type in the following command and press enter
:
./AssetRipper
Then you should see an error saying -bash: ./AssetRipper: Permission denied
.
To fix that, you'll need to type in this command:
chmod +x AssetRipper
After entering that, you should see an empty line
Now again try the following command and it should work.
./AssetRipper
Now something like this should pop up:
Click cancel. To verify that, you'll need to open system preferences using ⌘ + space

Then things like this will popup, click OK and do the same steps shown above to open them:
Like that you should see multiple popups, click OK and allow them.
After a while, you should see Asset Ripper GUI open:
Now lets say you got it opened, but you closed it and want to open it again. But luckily, you won't need to follow all the steps above to open again!
Just go to the AssetRipperGUI_mac64
folder and double click this file and it should open again!
And there you have it :)
