Hello. I'm using KiCad Mac Builder on Mac and trying to follow https://dev-docs.kicad.org/en/build/macos/. I got the build to complete, but I don't understand the instructions for the build artifacts:

[...] You must run make install (or ninja install) to package a complete KiCad.app and then launch that.

Which Makefile do you have in mind?  ;-)  I'm sorry if this is obvious. I tried running make install on a few of them and I didn't get a KiCad.app. On a 2019 Intel Mac Pro (not Apple silicon) with 13.4.1(c) Ventura.

The makefiles are generated by CMake, you run make in the build root (whatever directory you ran the cmake command in).
