Using the Prebuilt Package for MacOS 'amass_macos_amd64.zip', after unzipping the file and navigating to 'amass' when trying to run the executable I get the following blocker pop up window with no option to run amass:

“amass” cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.
macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.

The solution is to use homebrew, but as I wanted the Prebuilt Package then to bypass this warning I had to manually confirm that I trusted the application:
. Close the error message popup.
. In MacOS, go to "System Preferences" > "Security & Privacy".
. At the bottom of the dialog, there is a message saying that the "amass'was blocked. Next to it I click "Open anyway".
. The initial error message popped up again, but this time I had the option to click "Open" to run amass
. This only needed to be done once, amass now runs every time

Can this be included in a MacOS readme markdown ? Possibly a section in doc/install.md

Hello @caffix thanks for doing this. It may be that Threat Dragon will get an Apple dev licence gifted to the project, if this happens it may be that we can also sign Amass MacOS binaries ... see what happens I guess
