[Qgis-user] How to download QGIS 4.0.1 on macOS?

[nwastra nwastra]

Hi Thomas, I was having trouble getting $.0 to open on my imac. 
I downloaded the latest “master from here and it gave my 4.0.1 and it works fine now.
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/actions/workflows/build-macos-qt6.yml

Select the link next to the green tick and then scroll to bottom and there is a dmg to download.
You will need to control click to open it on the mac.
