So i downloaded Ngrok on my windows machine it was pretty straight forward unzipping and running.

Now I want to run it on my mac I am faced with all sorts of problems.

I downloaded Ngrok from ngrok.com

However it doesn't seem to download as a zip file?

This is where my Ngrok is kept

/Users/Jay/Downloads

What do i have to type in my terminal in order to get this to work? It doesn't seem to be zipped as mentioned.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

When using ngrok on Mac, be sure you're running the command from the directory where the ngrok binary resides.

So for your installation, you downloaded ngrok to /Users/Jay/Downloads, so the binary is probably in a directory called /Users/Jay/Downloads/ngrok/bin.

You can use ./ngrok help to test that this works.

So the command to try this from a terminal might look like this: ./Users/Jay/Downloads/ngrok/bin/ngrok help

Or cd directly into that /bin directory and try ./ngrok help from there.

Note that the initial period/full-stop (".") is needed.

Also, do yourself a favor by adding it to your root directory so you can just call the command from a new shell with just ./ngrok help.
