Open your Terminal by pressing Command + Space and searching for "Terminal."
Once the terminal window is open, type the following command to download the Talkyard installer:

After running the command, the installer will download Talkyard and start the installation process.
Once installation is completed, you can start Talkyard by opening your browser and navigating to the following URL:
