This is because MacBooks don't support .exe files

There already is a Mac version, you just have to build it yourself.

No. This is not how computers work. The .exe file is intended to be run on Windows machines. It can be run on Linux or macOS using Wine, but the performance can be worse. With that said, you can try running it with Wine (if you are not using an M1/M2 laptop). Install Wine with the official guide at WineHQ, and then double-click on the .exe file in the bin folder.

And no, this will not work as well. The source code is intended to be compiled using MSVC on Windows. It works with G++ or Clang, but you must clone a PR. I'll not provide instructions because I have no experience building it on Linux or macOS. Building it on macOS might actually be impossible, but I'm not sure.

Hope this helps.
