You missed the space between +X and the path to executable. There should be a space between those arguments. Also you should do the chmod command with elevated privileges.

Got it. Thank you so much.

I am still getting the "permission denied" error even after using sudo. Would you know why?

Please attach a complete screenshot of the commands you ran.

I think the MacOS instructions need to be updated because (I think this is maybe new with Mojave?) even after you've done the chmod +x WADark, you still have to go into Settings > Security & Privacy > General and click the button (sorry, can't remember exactly what it's labeled) that tells it to allow execution of the WADark downloaded app because it didn't come from the app store.
