After download, open a terminal and do: ### Instructions for ARM Mac users
The GF Download page contains a binary for the Mac with an Intel processor, but it will not work for newer Macs, which use an ARM Processor (called M1, M2, or M3 by Apple).
We have therefore prepared a binary for these newer Macs.
To download it, open a terminal and do:
``` ```
mkdir tmp # in your home directory cd # go to your home directory
mkdir tmp # if the directory tmp does not exist already
cd tmp cd tmp
mv ~/Downloads/gf-mac.gz . wget https://www.grammaticalframework.org/~aarne/gf-mac.gz
```
This is better than downloading via a browser, because your Mac OS may then block the use of the program as "unreliable".
After download, stay in the terminal and do:
```
gunzip gf-mac.gz gunzip gf-mac.gz
mv gf-mac gf mv gf-mac gf
chmod a+x gf chmod a+x gf

The readily available method is the `man` command, for instance,
