#Installing ngrok on OSX

When you try to install with downloaded zip file from ngrok website, alert message will pop up and tell you "ngrok" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

You can simply use homebrew to install this without any issue.

1. Open your terminal
2. $ brew cask install ngrok

But when i run the command ngrok http 80 it throws the error.
“ngrok” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

If you are using MacOS then open "System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General" and allow ngrok

Thank you

Anyone else not seeing the option under "System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General" ?

On MacOS Catalina ?

I'm on Big Sur and I saw it. it's pretty easy to miss, but after you run the command and get the message, look down in the "Allow apps downloaded from" section in the "General" tab (System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General), you should see a button asking you to allow "ngrok" permission.
