Installing CF 2021 to OSx Monterey (the no BS way).

Forget about the 64 bit version.  Forget about the auto installer (security will fail you everytime). Download  ColdFusion_2021_WWEJ_osx10.zip.  Extract the zip to Applications. Open Systems Preferences.  Follow Adobe's instructions whilst keeping Systems Preferences in the foreground.

Adobe's Directions but run every thing in sudo:

Mac OS X

• Unzip ColdFusion_2021_WWEJ_osx10.zip file.
• Unzip ColdFusion2021.zip.
• Navigate to ColdFusion/cfusion/bin on the terminal.
• Enter ./cfinstall.sh and follow the on-screen instructions.
• In Systems Preferences: Security& Privacy/Privacy/Developer Tools/ check terminal app.  (after install you might want to turn it off).

Watch Systems Preferences block the install and change everything that I did.  Boom it's done.
