NOTE: If you already have SIP disabled, please just upgrade as normal, this process is not required.

Note you should only need to do this once to allow running the 2.6 series of TotalSpaces2, future upgrades should not need this process.

Step 1

Upgrade TotalSpaces2 to the latest version as prompted by the upgrade dialog.

After you have upgraded, TotalSpaces2 will warn you that it needs to upgrade its system component, which requires the next step.

##Turn off System Integrity Protection (SIP)

This requires rebooting your maching into recovery mode.

Restart your machine, holding cmd-r down until the Apple logo appears.

Then select Terminal from the Utilities menu. It looks like this:

In the window that opens, type csrutil disable and press return. This turns off System Integrity Protection so that TotalSpaces2 can be installed.

Choose restart from apple menu (top left).

Run TotalSpaces2 from your Applications folder. It will ask for your password in order to install its plugin component.

When the plugin has been installed successfully, TotalSpaces2 will tell you that you can turn SIP back on.

Once again restart your machine, holding cmd-r down until the Apple logo appears.

Then select Terminal from the Utilities menu.

In the window that opens, type csrutil enable and press return. This turns on System Integrity Protection so your machine is fully protected.
