Open Fig from the applications folder. You can do this from the applications folder, Spotlight, or the launchpad.
Do not open Fig from the icon you saw in step 1.
This installs the Fig CLI via a symlink.
Fig uses Accessibility permissions to do its window management. Make sure the checkbox next to Fig is checked. You might have to click the lock in the bottom left.
Note: If the Fig sidebar doesn't display on load (e.g. after an update), chances are there is a problem with accessibility permissions. go to:
Apple Icon (in top left of screen) → System Preference → Security & Privacy → Accessibility
If Fig is unchecked: check it.
If Fig is checked: uncheck it, then check it again
You can login to Fig with Gmail or your email. We suggest you use your work email to make it easy to share internal scripts, runbooks, and CLIs.
If everything goes well, you should see a Terminal pop open with a sidebar appended to the right. You can click Start to begin installing apps and addings items to your sidebar.
