Linux Users will require you to run some commands, but should not be hard.
The installation is simple, but you do need to confirm whether you are M1/M2/M3 (ARM) Chips or Intel Chips, they are different options when you are trying to download it.
If you are the M1/M2/M3 Chips, download the Apple Chip version. If you are holding an old Mac with Intel Chip, then download the Intel Chip version.
After you downloaded the .dmg file, follow the instruction to do the drag and drop.
After it is installed, open and start it.
For ARM Chip users, make sure you have enabled "Use Rosetta for x86_64/amd64 emulation on Apple Silicon"
