I installed running the Mac OS installer pkg from the website. I did the
right-click to bypass Gatekeeper and the warning.

Are you aware that a release candidate is not ready for production
use - especially a 0.104 release candidate - and that there may be
things in the package which do not behave as might be expected?
I have never had a version of ClamAv on this machine. This was a first time
installation. Yes, I do realize this is a pre-production release and I'm OK
with it having things that might not work as expected. I'm grateful there
is even a Mac OS installer as I don't want to use homebrew or Xcode on this
system. I also ran through the configuration instructions with suggested
creating these files. I'll do an uninstall and try again.

I installed running the Mac OS installer pkg from the website. I did the
right-click to bypass Gatekeeper and the warning.
>Have you installed any previous version of ClamAV? In particular,
have you previously installed any version 0.104 release candidate?
Are you aware that a release candidate is not ready for production
use - especially a 0.104 release candidate - and that there may be
things in the package which do not behave as might be expected?
I have never had a version of ClamAv on this machine. This was a first time
installation. Yes, I do realize this is a pre-production release and I'm OK
with it having things that might not work as expected. I'm grateful there
is even a Mac OS installer as I don't want to use homebrew or Xcode on this
system. I also ran through the configuration instructions with suggested
creating these files. I'll do an uninstall and try again.
