On Mac

  1. Double-click the file in its location, such as the Download folder, desktop, etc.

  2. A box with the text "opening-name.dmg" will appear.

  3. 2. Enter the password provided to you by the Orah team

  4. You can open the DMG file on Mac immediately after the verification process has been successful and unlocked automatically.

On Windows

Since .dmg files are made for Mac OS, opening them on a Windows computer would require you to use a third party application.

While many tools are available online, some of our customers have found the below-listed tools helpful.

  • 7zip

  • WinZip

  • WinRAR

  • B1 Free Archiver

  • PeaZip
