I ran the first two lines below and the output is the following code. How do I fix this?

cd ~/Desktop/MATLAB/cvx

See if this helps. I’m not a Mac person, so can’t offer any assistance beyond the link.

It is the MACOS overprotective security. You should remove the quarantaine or go into system settings and allow loading those libraries.

Here are instructions that worked for me. https://themosekblog.blogspot.com/2019/12/macos-1015-catalina-mosek-installation.html

Others have put other instructions in many threads on this forum. Look for similar topics.

Between the links in this link, and the link provided by @Michal_Adamaszek , hopefully you can resolve your issue.
