The build is for Apple silicon (arm64) only, macOS 11 and newer; there is no release for Intel Macs. Drag MoonTerminal.app to Applications and open it, then in System Settings go to “Privacy & Security” and press “Open Anyway”: the app is signed without notarization, so the warning is expected. On macOS 14 and older, right-click and “Open” also work.
