- Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3): The driver works via Rosetta 2. Make sure Rekordbox is updated to the latest native version.

Error D: "Permission denied" when installing on macOS Sequoia.
- Cause: Apple's increased security for legacy drivers.
- Fix: You must boot into Recovery Mode (Apple Silicon: Shut down, hold power button. Intel: CMD+R at startup). Open Terminal in Recovery and type:
csrutil enable --without kextReboot. This allows unsigned kernel extensions. (Use cautiously; reduces security slightly).
