How to Install Google Web Designer on Mac

Follow these steps to install Google Web Designer using Homebrew, the most popular package manager for macOS. This works on both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs.

    Open Terminal

    Launch Terminal from your Applications > Utilities folder, or press Cmd + Space and type "Terminal".

  2. 2

    Install Homebrew

    If you don't have Homebrew yet, paste the install script from brew.sh into Terminal and follow the prompts.

  3. 3

    Run brew install --cask google-web-designer

    Paste the following command into Terminal and press Enter:

    brew install --cask google-web-designer

Troubleshooting
