How to Install and Manage Third-Party Applications on macOS

Third-party applications are software programs developed by companies or individuals other than the manufacturer of the device's operating system. In the context of Apple, specifically macOS, third-party applications are those not developed by Apple itself. These applications can significantly enhance the functionality of your Mac by providing tools and features not available in native macOS applications.


Examples:


1. Installing Third-Party Applications via the Mac App Store:


The Mac App Store is the most straightforward and secure way to install third-party applications on your Mac. Here’s how you can do it:



  • Open the App Store from your Dock or Applications folder.

  • Use the search bar to find the application you want to install.

  • Click on the app to view its details, then click the Get button, followed by Install.

  • You may be prompted to enter your Apple ID and password. Once authenticated, the app will download and install automatically.


2. Installing Third-Party Applications from the Web:


Not all applications are available on the Mac App Store. Here’s how to install applications from the web:



  • Visit the official website of the application you wish to install.

  • Download the installation file, usually a .dmg or .pkg file.

  • Once downloaded, open the file. If it’s a .dmg, drag the application to your Applications folder. If it’s a .pkg, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

  • macOS may prompt you to confirm that you want to open an application downloaded from the internet. Click Open to proceed.


3. Managing Third-Party Applications:




  • Updating Applications: Applications installed via the Mac App Store can be updated directly through the App Store. For applications installed from the web, check the application’s website for updates or use any built-in update feature within the app.




  • Uninstalling Applications: To uninstall an application, simply drag it from the Applications folder to the Trash. For a more thorough removal, consider using third-party uninstaller tools like AppCleaner.




4. Security Considerations:



  • Always download applications from reputable sources to avoid malware.

  • Use macOS’s built-in security features like Gatekeeper, which can be configured in System Preferences > Security & Privacy to allow apps from the App Store and identified developers.
