I have loaded data into the neo4j browser directly, through pycharm, and have no issues creating the graph or using cypher to create queries. However, I want to use de APOC library, and the installation guide sends you to the desktop app, and install it from there. When I click the neo4j browser on the desktop app, the following message displays:  
--Graph App 'Neo4j Browser' is damaged and can't be opened. Please re-install the app.  
Is it possible to install the APOC library through the neo4j browser directly? How can I solve this message issue?  
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

neo4j desktop version: 1.1.17
