Proper location of LAStools #3

After I download LAStools from here where do I put this folder so it's accessible to QGIS's path? I added that folder to my system path but when I try to run las2shp I get the following output showing that it's looking for it in C: but I'm on MacOS

LAStools command line
C:\LAStools/bin/las2shp -v -gui -i "/Users/me/Downloads/file.las"
LAStools console output
/bin/sh: C:LAStools/bin/las2shp: No such file or directory

las2shp is available from my command line, however.

By default the variable in the QGIS Processing points to "C:\LAStools" and you need to change it to point to the directory where your LAStools installation is stored. See the screenshot below.

When you run on a MacOS you in addition also need to install WinE and provide the PATH to the WinE executable for all non-open source LAStools that are only available as Windows *.exe binaries.
