 For the backend, you'll need to setup pre-commit hooks (black / reorder-python-imports).
 First, install pre-commit (if you don't have it already) following the instructions
 [here](https://pre-commit.com/#installation).
+
+On macOS, from the danswer directory you can simply install pre-commit with the following command.
+```bash
+pip install pre-commit
+```

 Then, from the `danswer/backend` directory, run:
 ```bash
 pre-commit install

+macOS will likely require you to remove some quarantine attributes on some of the hooks for them to execute properly.
+```
+sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine ~/.cache/pre-commit

 Additionally, we use `mypy` for static type checking.
 Danswer is fully type-annotated, and we would like to keep it that way! 
 To run the mypy checks manually, run `python -m mypy .` from the `danswer/backend` directory.
