I've been trying but my terminal keeps telling me "no such file or directory"

After which command? It looks like a problem of navigation, but maybe it's something else. I did it by directly opening terminal at the folder the game came in by right-clicking the folder, then doing " cd IntelligentDesignMac ", " cd Contents/MacOS ", "chmod +x * ". That star should mean the game, since there's nothing else in the folder. Hope you can get it to work!

I typed this in my terminal but its not opening anything sadly :(

cd Applications

cd /Applications/IntelligentDesignMac-2

cd /Applications/IntelligentDesignMac-2/IntelligentDesignMac.app/Contents

cd /Applications/IntelligentDesignMac-2/IntelligentDesignMac.app/Contents/MacOS

chmod +x /Applications/IntelligentDesignMac-2/IntelligentDesignMac.app/Contents/MacOS/IntelligentDesignMac

Well, you shouldn't do any of the cd commands, since you chmod the full name of the file anyway. You should just open a fresh terminal window at your user and directly do " chmod +x /Applications/IntelligentDesignMac-2/IntelligentDesignMac.app/Contents/MacOS/IntelligentDesignMac". Doing the cds is exactly what changes the navigation. Sorry if I confused you!

OMG thank you thank you thank you <3 It is working now! Sorry for my lack of knowledge about how to use the terminal but you've been very helpful!

A better reccomendation is to right click on the app click show package contents and then open the MacOS folder in that and drag the file to a terminal with the line chmod +x (with a space after x) already typed in this will automaticaly do what you need without having to cd
