No such file or directory

Hi, I'm a new hashcat user and I'm just attempting to set up the program and I ran into a issue where the terminal told me (mac user):
/Users/Greg/.local/share/hashcat/sessions/usage.pid: No such file or directory

/Users/Greg/.local/share/hashcat: No such file or directory


When I attempted to run: hashcat --help

Any help would be appreciated!

how did you installed hashcat on mac? homebrew, git?

missing .local/share/hahscat seems hashcat was not installed properly (missing make install after compiling from git?) 

im not quite familiar with compiling on mac, if this hahscat folder exists (pls check), it seems it is a permission issue

when using git try

make install

after compiling it

homebrew dont know, maybe i would give it an try and mkdir these needed folderstructure, if there are already there, then it seems a permission problem

EDIT:
seems you will also need the opencl header before compiling
see this conversion
