I have an iMac(desktop) running 10.12.6 and an AMD Radeon so I downloaded the corresponding AMD miner on the MacMiner website.
So I followed all the instructions, put the whole folder I downloaded in /Applications, and ran Terminal
/Applications/xmr-stak-amd-macOS/xmr-stak-amd
I got:
Failed to open config file config.txt.
Also cd/Applications/xmr-stak-amd-macOS/xmr-stak-amd won't work
I'm a total NEWB to mining so please help?
Thanks.

You need to run it from the same folder as per the instructions, in Terminal:
cd /Applications/xmr-stak-amd-macOS
press enter then type
./xmr-stak-amd
press enter and it'll load the config.txt
cd/Applications/xmr-stak-amd-macOS/xmr-stak-amd would not work both because there's no space between cd and /, and because xmd-stak-amd is a binary not a folder, you have to cd to /Applications/xmr-stak-amd-macOS
Oh okay. It works now. But now it says:
JSON config parse error(offset 1749): Invalid value.
