**Please note!** If you have application install restrictions enabled on your macOS install, or have restricted your system to only allow installation of application from the Apple App Store, you will need to create an exception for Sideband.

# flag --break-system-packages to install:
pip3 install rns --break-system-packages
```
If you do not have Python and `pip` available, [download and install it](https://www.python.org/downloads/) first.
