I hope you were able to find a solution by now - but in the wild chance you didn't... did you ensure that python is installed correctly? Does the VM have a path to the internet?
Hi! There may be changes in the name of the path, or you may be in a different part of the file system. You can use the *dir* command to list the current directory contents and then look for the folder that you just extracted. Using the tab key also helps as it offers auto-completion of directories and files as you begin typing. You also need to ensure that you have the tools downloaded and extracted. There could be a number of reasons why you are encountering this issue, but these are where I would start. Let me know how it goes!
Hi! It *should* work on a Mac, I have used it in the past without any issues. Apple has recently stopped shipping Python2 and I believe removed it from the OS in one the latest updates, so may need to watch out for any python2/3 issues. Oledump runs in python3 so shouldn't be an issue, outside of resolving dependency such as olefile. For malware analysis purposes, I would suggest using a VM such as REMnux or a Windows host, even if your analysis host is a Mac, it's still a good practice to do the work in a VM :)

Nothing should really take much time installing and using OLEDUMP - do you have a specific problem?
Does this work on MAC OS?
The "Path" box is not an option on MAC
