• If your macOS is earlier than Catalina, the discussion (with screenshots)at therampagedevblog should tell you what you need to know.

• If you're running Catalina or higher, here's a step-by-step HOWTO.

  1. Open System Preferences and navigate to 'Security & privacy'. Select the General tab. We'll come back to this window shortly.
