I installed sage on OSX 10.15.2 according to the README directions. However, my MacBook would not let me run sage. After relocating the "SageMath" folder to my desktop and going there in my terminal to run ' ./ sage ' , my computer says that "cannot open program from unidentified developer". So I go to my settings and click "Open Anyway" about 20 times; then the terminal says "Import Error...". I repeated this process approximately 10 times, always clicking "Open Anyway", and Sage never opened. Then I got this crash report, which says there is a crash report left in the file named:
    '/Users/calebnastasi/.sage/ipython-5.0.0/Sage_crash_report.txt'
except that file doesn't exist on my system. There must be a simpler way to install this package.

High, you are not alone in this endeavor.
Comments in "Does SageMath work on Mac OS 10.14.6" of sage-support-group might help.
But first, please make sure you have not invoked sage before you movesage
to desktop.
Sage rewrites the links inside its code when it is invoked for the first time,
(through SageMath-X.X(.app) or through command line "./sage".)
If one moves SageMath after this invocation, Sage cannot find modules it uses.
If your case matches this description, I think you can fix it by installing SageMath again.
