# 1. Terminal Permissions

### Security and Privacy -> Privacy

If you don't see terminal in the list of apps, you can add it by clicking the "+" button under the list and select terminal from applications -> utilities (refer to image below)

{% hint style="info" %}
If there's no "+" button, you might have to skip this for now. You might revisit this after you run the macro, as Terminal might show up.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Note that automation doesn't have the "+" button, if you don't see Terminal in this category, add it after you run the macro.

Enable Terminal for these categories:

* Full disk access (lets macro access other macro files)
* Accessibility (lets macro send keypresses)
* Screen recording (lets macro read the screen)
* Input Monitoring (lets macro detect keypresses)

If Terminal does not show up there, it should appear after running the macro.

{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE:** On older macOS versions, some of these categories may not show up, which is normal.
{% endhint %}
