I don't think my writeup got saved when creating the issue.

I have ipget on a Mac and as soon as I open the program, it automatically posts the above process and freezes the window so no commands can be input. How do I prevent or bypass this issue? Thanks in advance!

ipget is a command line tool. You need to execute it from a terminal, not by double clicking on the executable. You probably want https://docs.ipfs.io/install/ipfs-desktop/.
