 1. Download the macOS zip files from github - https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame/actions/runs/12164591148/artifacts/2274752013
 2. Unzip to directory location that doesn't have any access right issues (I use ~/Downloads/mg-nugets)
 3. Add the nuget source by running dotnet nuget add source ~/Downloads/mg-nugets -n "mg-nugets"
 4. in your game project directory there should be a .config directory and in there should be a dotnet-tools.json file. 
   Change all the references from "version": "3.8.2.1105" to the unzipped nuget version, "version": "3.8.2.1736-develop"
 5. If your csprojs contain hard-coded versions of nugets like "3.8.2.1105", I'd recommend changing these to "3.8.*".
   That way you only need to update the dotnet-tools.json file and your csprojs done't need to change, when say 3.8.3 or future versions are released.
 6. Clean your project and maybe try a dotnet build [yourproject].sln 

 The same process can be used to test our latest builds on other platforms/operating systems, found here https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame/actions/
