What should I set the terminal to on macOS?

There is no xterm on macOS.

Late response, hopefully you've found the answer but for anyone else looking.

You should set the terminal variable to point to an executable that will take command line options. The Mac Terminal (built-in) doesn't have that capability, or at least I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere. Alternatively, you can use iterm or alacritty. I've the following settings:

(org-babel-tmux-terminal "alacritty")
(org-babel-tmux-terminal-opts '("-t" "ob-tmux" "-e"))

For iterm, you have to point to the executable inside the application package (/Applications/iTerm.app/Contents/MacOS/iTerm2).

Happy to see that you got it to work! Thank you for sharing your solution!

Allard,

This is just the basic setup, thought I'll share how I've setup.

Controlling a remote tmux issue is still there, I shared more info with the permissions setup over there.
