Bypass Gatekeeper
You need to tell Gatekeeper to not delete uwu2x files. Gatekeeper may delete them because they are not signed. To do it, type this command :
xattr -cr uwu2x-proMove uwu2x-pro to extensions folder
Move the uwu2x-pro folder to “/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions” or “~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions” if you are on a non-administrator session. If these paths do not exist, you can create one manually.
