Unable to install Wacom driver on mac

Trying to install the driver on a mac running 10.14.6 but the driver won't install. According to Wacom website, driver is compatible with 10.14 but not sure if it is on 10.14.6.


This is the instructions on the Wacom support website:

https://www.wacom.com › en-us › support

Go to the General tab, if shown, click the allow button located at the bottom for Wacom Technology Corp. Go to the Privacy tab, select Accessibility then click on the lock at the bottom of the preferences to make changes. You will be asked to input your credentials.


They tried to Troubleshoot for 5 days and ended up referring to Apple. But the issue happens on the test user and 2 macs.


Do you have any workaround or suggestion on how to install this driver?

We are successfully using Wacom with 10.14.6. As I recall there are three steps to the installation.


  1. Run the installer
  2. Authorise the Kernel Extension (as per - https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2459/_index.html )
  3. Authorise the Privacy Settings


Steps 1 and 3 require admin level credentials but step 2 can be done by an ordinary user.

If anybody helps, I solved this issue on Wacom tablet ("Security settings prevented the Wacom Software from posting an event" message appear after installed wacom driver) and Catalina OS.

I added with + on Security & Privacy>Accessibility and Input Monitoring, this another file named "TabletDriver" from /Library/ApplicationSupport/Tablet.

When I just added "WacomTabletDriver" and "WacomTouchDriver" it seems like no work at all. It needs to add "TabletDriver" too.

After doing that, the annoying message dissapear!!
