- Try to start : "Impossible to Open" ( in french : Kiwix.app est endommagé et ne peut pas être ouvert. Vous devriez placer cet élément dans la Corbeille).

- Open terminal :  **"sudo spctl --master-disable"**
- Check the status : **"spctl --status" **

- After on **Gatekeeper** :

### Step 3 :

- Now it's possible to Open App ( In French : "Ouvrir" ) :

- Open Kiwix : "Error : OSStatus - 67071".

So it's impossible to install Kiwix 0.9 on MacOS High Sierra.
