No clear instruction on how to run on Mac OS #32

I can't seem to figure out how to run this on Mac OS, bearing in mind that I have zero knowledge on this.

I downloaded the binary file, ran terminal at the folder and used this command: dotnet FinderOuter

I get this error: Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found. Possible reasons for this include:

You misspelled a built-in dotnet command.
You intended to execute a .NET program, but dotnet-FinderOuter does not exist.
You intended to run a global tool, but a dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATH.

If you are compiling the project yourself (have .net installed) you can run it by using dotnet FinderOuter but if you are downloading the binaries I provided (don't need installed .net) you should run it by using ./FinderOuter.
I don't have Mac OS to test but it seems like similar to Linux you need to provide execute permissions before running .net applications, and the command is different: sudo chmod +x FinderOuter
