Download MacDjVu.dmg from Releases, open, and drag to /Applications.
DjVuLibre is bundled — no extra dependencies needed.
The app is not signed with an Apple Developer certificate.
macOS will block the first launch. To allow it, run: xattr -cr /Applications/MacDjVu.app.
Why not the App Store?
App Store requires Apple Developer Program ($99/year) and App Sandbox.
