Step 4:
Launch Ableton after installation has completed.

AU or VST? Go to Ableton Preferences and decide which plugin format(s) you'd like to use. Please view the following article for more information: https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/209068929-Using-AU-and-VST-plug-ins-on-Mac
IMPORTANT: If you are planning on sharing your projects with Windows users, it is important to only use the VST plugin format as AU is not supported on the macOS.

• Click the "Options" drop-down menu and select Preferences.
