Install CoCoA-5 on MacOS-10.15+
Description
Review the instructions for installing CoCoA-5.3 on MacOS.
Unfortunately it seems that an administrator account and password are needed even for a "personal" installation of CoCoA-5.

I have had trouble installing CoCoA-5 from our website on my old mac.

Anna could you do the following on your old MacBook:
(1) download the official distrib
(2) follow the instructions on the web site (exactly)
(3) note down all interactions which were necessary.
On my computer: if I CTRL-click on CoCoAInterpreter, a window appears asking if I really want to "open" the file; I say yes; then another window appears saying "Verifying...".
After some time the verification fails, and I have the option to "cancel" or "move to trash". HOWEVER, if I start ./CoCoAInterpreter
in a shell then it seems to run (and complain that it cannot find the packages...).
What happens if you just do CTRL-click on ConfigEmacs
, but do not do it with CoCoAInterpreter
? Can you then start CoCoA-5 from inside emacs?
I also had to type in an administrator's username and password (when running as "guest" user).
NOTE even though verification failed (with a worrying message about CoCoAInterpreter being corrupted), I was then able to start it from inside Emacs.
