How can I run the .exe file compiled from C# on a macbook?

After compiling the program I'm wondering how can we run it. What are the options? I tried double-clicking but it opened the Xamarin Profiler

You will need to run it from the command line. After compiling your project, you can run it using the mono example.exe command.

You can also combine your compile and run commands like this: mcs -out:example.exe *.cs && mono example.exe.
