xattr sh file trouble - can't use software?

I know little about this, but I'm smart enough to know how to execute commands in the Mac terminal. There is a program called Timbuktu that I'm trying to install on High Sierra but I can't get it to launch.

The software originally came with a fix for MacOS Sierra that comes in the form of an sh file. They released this to make it compatible with Sierra. High Sierra shouldn't be much different. Here's what is in the sh file:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Timbuktu\ Pro/Timbuktu\ Pro.app/
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Timbuktu\ Pro/Timbuktu\ Pro.app/Contents/SharedSupport/*.app
open /Applications/Timbuktu\ Pro/Timbuktu\ Pro.app/Contents/SharedSupport/*Host*.app
open /Applications/Timbuktu\ Pro/Timbuktu\ Pro.app

It gives me the following problems:

MacBook-Pro:~ newuser$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Timbuktu\ Pro/Timbuktu\ Pro.app/
xattr: /Applications/Timbuktu Pro/Timbuktu Pro.app/: No such xattr: com.apple.quarantine
MacBook-Pro:~ newuser$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Timbuktu\ Pro/Timbuktu\ Pro.app/Contents/SharedSupport/*.app
xattr: /Applications/Timbuktu Pro/Timbuktu Pro.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Timbuktu Host Menu.app: No such xattr: com.apple.quarantine
xattr: /Applications/Timbuktu Pro/Timbuktu Pro.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Timbuktu Host.app: No such xattr: com.apple.quarantine
xattr: /Applications/Timbuktu Pro/Timbuktu Pro.app/Contents/SharedSupport/TimbuktuSkype.app: No such xattr: com.apple.quarantine
MacBook-Pro:~ newuser$

From the looks of it, I don't think this is working. When I try launching the program it tells me this:

The Timbuktu Host has failed to load. The application requires the Timbuktu Host.

You can grab the program and included sh file here: https://www.macintoshrepository.org/9201-timbuktu-pro-8-8-5 (no warez here, just a copy of the last version of the full program).

Any help would be appreciated.

Update:

if I'm reading this correctly, it means that what I'm trying to unquarantine, wasn't quarantined in the first place. I still can't get the application to load though due to it saying the Host failed to load. Here's what happens when I try to load the 'Host' file it needs to run when I execute the command from the sh file in the terminal:

MacBook-Pro:~ newuser$ open /Applications/Timbuktu\ Pro/Timbuktu\ Pro.app/Contents/SharedSupport/*Host*.app
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the files /Applications/Timbuktu Pro/Timbuktu Pro.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Timbuktu Host Menu.app and /Applications/Timbuktu Pro/Timbuktu Pro.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Timbuktu Host.app.
MacBook-Pro:~ newuser$

Maybe there needs to be a permission for this file to be run? I read something somewhere about using a chmod command to get something working when there was a 10801 error. Hmm...
