In the Terminal.
https://support.apple.com/guide/terminal/welcome/macalso for some reason i cannot vet the change frequency and tuning commands to work. any ideas. this is what iv have so far :
cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333 -u <wallet adress> -p x --gekko-compacf-detect --gekko-compacf-freq 500
You are following the wrong section of the guide.
.exe is always a Windows binary. You should neither download, nor try to run, a Windows binary on Mac, it won't work. Download and run the right binary for your OS and it should be good.
Everything is explained here:
