Instructions on how to run Logisim on modern macOS i.e. Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey

The Guide to Running Logisim on a macOS Big Sur or later

If you for some reason need to run Logisim on your Mac running Catalina, Big Sur or later and can't use an updated fork like Logisim Evolution then here are the instructions for you.

  4. Open System Prefrences and navigate to Security & Privacy → Privacy → Full Disk Access.
  5. Unlock the padlock in the bottom left by clicking it and
