  • How to add your terminal to Developer Tools:
  • Run sudo spctl developer-mode enable-terminal in your terminal.
  • Go to System Preferences, and then to Security & Privacy.
  • Under the Privacy tab, an item called Developer Tools should be present. Navigate to it.
  • Ensure that your terminal is listed and enabled. If you're using a third-party terminal like iTerm, be sure to add it to the list. (You may have to click the lock in the bottom-left corner and authenticate.)
  • Restart your terminal.
