You can either clone the afloat repository using git or you can download the afloat folder as a zip file and unzip it. You can find this folder in Rocky Wu’s GitHub repository here. If you have never installed Afloat before, then you need to obtain Afloat.bundle. Some places to look for it are /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins and ~/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins. Find the folder Afloat.bundle on your computer and copy it somewhere safe. If you have installed Afloat before, don’t uninstall or delete it yet. You might have Afloat.bundle from previous Afloat installation. Once you obtain this folder, I recommend that making a more long-term backup of this folder (Google Drive, for example) for future use. These are multiple methods to obtaining Afloat.bundle folder. Instructions for re-enabling SIP are provided in this post below.Īlternative to downloading mySIMBL zip file from GitHub, you can use MacUpdate if you trust it. Once mySIMBL and Afloat are installed, you can re-enable SIP. The only thing I have to add is that you only need to disable SIP for installing mySIMBL. mySIMBL will instruct you if you need to do this and how to do it. During the installation of mySIMBL, it might ask you to disable System Integrity Protection (SIP), which requires you to boot in Recovery Mode. You can simply follow the instructions in mySIMBL README. Here are the specific steps that worked for me. While there could be many sources of SIMBL, mySIMBL works for me on MacOS Sierra and it is easy to install. Previously, for MacOS Yosemite and El Capitan, SIMBL 0.9.9 worked but it does not seem to work for MacOS Sierra.
