2. Open Github [releases page]({{nym_vpn_latest_binary_url}}) and download the binary for MacOS
3. Verify sha hash of your downloaded binary with the one listed on the [releases page]({{nym_vpn_latest_binary_url}}). You can use a simple `shasum` command and compare strings (ie with Python) or run in the same directory the following command, exchanging `<SHA_STRING>` with the one of your binary, like in the example:

3. Recommended (skip to next point if you don't want to verify): Verify sha hash of your downloaded binary with the one listed on the [releases page]({{nym_vpn_latest_binary_url}}). You can use a simple `shasum` command and compare strings (ie with Python) or run in the same directory the following command, exchanging `<SHA_STRING>` with the one of your binary, like in the example:
```sh
echo "<SHA_STRING>" | shasum -a 256 -c
# choose a correct one according to your binary, this is just an example

4. Extract files:
```sh
tar -xvf <BINARY>
# for example
# tar -xvf nym-vpn-desktop_0.0.4_macos_aarch64.tar.gz
```
5. Move to the application directory and make executable
5. Move to the application content directory:
```sh
cd "macos/nym-vpn.app/Contents/MacOS"
# if it didn't work, try
cd "/Applications/nym-vpn.app/Contents/MacOS/"
```
6. Make executable
```sh
chmod u+x nym-vpn
```
6. Move `nym-vpn` to your `~/nym-vpn-latest` directory
7. Move `nym-vpn` to your `~/nym-vpn-latest` directory
```sh
mv nym-vpn "$HOME/nym-vpn-latest"
```
Here you are basically done with the installation. NymVPN alpha version runs over Nym testnet (called sandbox), we need to do a little configuration:
### Configuration
7. Create the configuration file by opening a text editor and saving the lines below as `config.toml` in the same directory `~/nym-vpn-latest`
8. Create the application configuration file by opening a text editor and saving the lines below as `config.toml` in the same directory `~/nym-vpn-latest`
```toml
env_config_file = ".env"
```
8. Create testnet configuration file by saving [this](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nymtech/nym/develop/envs/sandbox.env) as `.env` in the same directory `~/nym-vpn-latest`
Alternatively do it via a simple command:
```sh
echo "env_config_file = .env" > "$HOME/nym-vpn-latest/config.toml"
```
9. Create testnet configuration file by saving [this](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nymtech/nym/develop/envs/sandbox.env) as `.env` in the same directory `~/nym-vpn-latest`
```sh
curl -L "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nymtech/nym/develop/envs/sandbox.env" -o "$HOME/nym-vpn-latest/.env"
```
