Once the download is complete, follow these steps to extract the file and make the binary executable:

cd extracted-directory-name (nym-vpn-core-v0.2.3_macos_universal || nym-vpn-core-v0.2.3_linux_x86_64)

# Make the nym-vpn-cli binary executable
chmod +x nym-vpn-cli

## Side note, if you're prompted with: 
"nym-vpn-cli cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified (for macOS)" 

Please follow:
    - Cancel the current action on the "nym-vpn-cli" warning dialog.
    - Go to Privacy and Security in the menu.
    - Scroll down to the Security section.
    - Find the relevant option for "nym-vpn-cli" and select "Allow Anyway".

Other option:
    - Alternatively, you can open a finder window where the nym-vpn-cli is located, 
      double-click it and allow the application. 
      The first time, it will close the app, but the next time, 
      you’ll be able to run it from the nym-vpn-cli without issues.
