Bug description

A lot of the MAC users will get stuck on this part of the documentation: https://docs.iota.org/developer/getting-started/install-iota#test
I'm sure they'll find the way around it like I did but it's just annoying and can be discouraging.

Users is presented with this error when they try to execute any binary:

There is an extra step users have to do on Mac OS

If running the binaries for the first time, you might receive an error from MacOS that prevents the binaries from running. If you receive this error, close the dialog and type xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/sui/* in your terminal and press Enter (be sure to adjust the path if different).

You should include similar documentation on this that you can find in Sui docs: https://docs.sui.io/guides/developer/getting-started/sui-install

Most importantly why can't I just do

brew install iota
