to be clear - do not mess with Home-brew or wine, Island Rum is all you should need

Those directions are outdated. Island Rum will do everything for you (he says hopefully). This is what got me tripped up too but once I got sorted out the security settings and updated my OS it worked.

You’ll need to go to your settings and ‘allow’ the program to run. I’m not at my computer atm but when I get a chance I’ll provide more detailed information. I think it’s in Privacy/Security or something like that.

Here's my story, may or may not be helpful. Started here: Clicked on the link to the OS X install and ended up here: Followed all directions as well as I could but got very confused and frustrated. Went to bed. Woke up and decided to try again. Realized I was not updated to Catalina! Updated, restarted, manually created the applications\CoH folder, then ran island Rum for the "first" time re-downloaded, and to my amazement it worked!

This is it! I spent two days trying all the other older advice and nothing worked. This did it!
