Open the Terminal (Application/Utilities/Terminal), type "chmod u+x", space, then find GUI folder in the Finder, open "bin" directory, select stm32ld_mac file and drag-and-drop it inside the Terminal window - full path to a file will be inserted in the command line. Press "Enter" to execute this command. Please ensure that you select the right COM port with name "tty.SLAB.USBtoUART".

There is a known problem with the MAC OS 10.13 "High Sierra" - it does not load driver automatically on demand.
