If you double-click on the zip file in the Apple Finder application, a Unix Executable File will be extracted from the.zip file, e.g., iperf3
. You can move the file to theApplications/Utilities
directory or place it whereveryou like on the system.
To run the program, open a Terminal window -the Terminal application is found in the Applications/Utilities
directory. If you type /pathtofile/iperf3 -h
, wherepathtofile is the location where you placed the executable file,for the iperf3 version you will see the following 'help' information onthe usage of the program:

directory - by using the socketfilterfw --listapps
command as shown below:
