* docs: restructure Quick Start with DMG as preferred install method
- Add DMG download as Option 1 (Recommended) with quarantine removal steps
- Move Build from Source to Option 2 with permissions note for terminal apps
- Add Permissions table with all 3 required permissions (Mic, Accessibility, Input Monitoring)
- Add Input Monitoring restart note
- Update Requirements to include Apple Silicon and clarify Xcode is only for source builds
- Simplify First Launch steps to reference permissions section
* docs: add install script option under Build from Source
Add the ./scripts/install.sh workflow as an alternative for developers
who prefer CLI commands (vocamac & vocamac-build).
**Or use the install script** for a CLI-based workflow:
152
+
153
+
```bash
154
+
# Build + install `vocamac` command to ~/.local/bin
155
+
./scripts/install.sh
156
+
157
+
# Launch in background
158
+
vocamac &
159
+
160
+
# Rebuild anytime after pulling updates
161
+
vocamac-build
162
+
```
163
+
164
+
> **Permissions note:** When running from terminal, macOS assigns permissions to your **terminal app** (Terminal, iTerm2, etc.) rather than VocaMac itself. Grant Microphone, Accessibility, and Input Monitoring to your terminal app instead.
