For macOS Catalina users

Users on macOS Catalina might be prompted that cloudctl-darwin-amd64 is not a trusted application. There are two ways to get around this:

• Open Finder, control-click the application cloudctl-darwin-amd64, choose Open from the menu, and then click Open in the dialog that appears. Enter your admin name and password to open the app if promoted.

• Enable developer-mode for your terminal window, which will whitelist everything:

  • Open Terminal, and enter:

    ❯ spctl developer-mode enable-terminal 

  • Go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy Tab -> Developer Tools -> Terminal : Enable
  • Restart all terminals
