Having Trouble (i.e., understanding how) to install TNFS server on my mac M1 mini

[DOSboot]

So , yeah, when I get the "precompiled binary" downloaded from the Fujinet page.  It doesn't open.  I'm sure that's related to the fact that I do not know what to do with such a file! Please help, if you have a minute.  Thanks.

There is no "install", it's just a program that is run from terminal. Put the downloaded program somewhere (I'll assume it's in Downloads for this example):

cd ~/Downloads

chmod 755 tnfsd.macos.amd64

./tnfsd.macos.amd64 /path/to/your/atari/disk/images

 

Macos may prompt you about the program being from the internet and you may need to approve it/allow it to run in settings. You may also need to allow tnfsd to use the firewall port 16384.

Awesome, Thanks for responding.  I will try this!  I opened the file in a text editor initially and saw gobbledy gook, etc.  Thought it was not a program, didn't know what it was.
