After downloading tMM and copying it to your /Applications/ folder - assuming you have the latest version of Minecraft and you have loaded it at least once (the Minecraft Launcher does the actual downloading of Java etc) - you can open a terminal and run this command:
Hopefully this helps some others looking to run tMM on their macOS.
Cheers!
