PhotoRec Installation

Solved
Lilouiuoi -  
Good evening,

I am new to MacOS and I can't install PhotoRec. The fact is that I am using Catalina in x64. Could someone provide me with the steps to follow?

      Following the installation instructions, after installing Homebrew, I launch TestDisk and I paste a copy of the window that appears. I can't go any further.

        Hello,

        I see "
        bad CPU type in executable
        ", which clearly means it doesn't like your processor model...
        The PhotoRec you downloaded may not be compatible with your Mac and/or Catalina.

      Hello,

      However, I installed it via Homebrew from the terminal...

          I finally found the command that allows you to launch Testdisk 

          sudo TestDisk


          This article is very detailed
