Docs fail to mention that installing using ZIP on macOS will not run #1031

The instructions make no mention of the fact that installing as described on macOS will not run ("cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer"). What is the correct procedure for installing on macOS?

We don't have automatic code signing for our builds. You'll have to permit macOS to run unsigned binaries in your System Preferences.

@chadaustin Indeed. Not mentioned in the docs though.
