https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-on-macos?view=powershell-7.2#installation-via-direct-download

Description of the documentation error

The document does not explain that the current 7.2.0 version does not cater for the new security features on MacOS where the OS will not allow a user to open a pkg file for installation if it cannot check it for malicious software.

Suggested fix

Make it clear that this issue is known (if it is) and that it is planned to be fixed in verion x.

Provide a documented workaround for the current version 7.2.0.
