Hi,

I downloaded the latest release of TwitchDownloaderCLI (version 1.54.9) for my x64 MacOS system. After downloading I tried to open it but it just gives a textfile with unreadable content. I added '.zip' to the file and tried again but I get this error:

Unable to expand "TwitchDownloaderCLI.zip". It is in an unsupported format.

Can someone please help.

TwitchDownloaderCLI is a terminal application, so it must be run from the terminal. The file you renamed to TwitchDownloaderCLI.zip is the application executable.

You can summon a terminal window with command + space, "terminal", enter. From there, navigate to wherever you extracted the TwitchDownloaderCLI executable with cd (change directory) and ls (list). From there, please see if the instructions at https://github.com/lay295/TwitchDownloader/issues/943#issuecomment-1887918548 or here https://github.com/lay295/TwitchDownloader/issues/789#issuecomment-1689230243 help.
