I've downloaded cocoAspell from the github
https://github.com/leuski/cocoAspell

But then, I can't  make it work. I'm not sure if it comes with the
installation already pre-set. here is what I did:

(1) downloaded the full set of the files
cocoAspell-master

cocoAspell-master $ ls

LICENSE

README.md

aspell

cocoAspell-2.x

(2) cd /Library/Application Support/
sudo mkdir cocoAspell
cd cocoAspell

sudo mv ~/Downloads/cocoAspell-master .

$ cd cocoAspell-master

cd cocoAspell-2.x


(3)
make install

make: Nothing to be done for `install'.


Is it a pre-installed directory?

(4) I downloaded  aspell6-en-2020.12.07-0
from:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/0index.html
and installed it by the instructions in:

aspell6-en-2020.12.07-0/README


/Library/Application Support/cocoAspell $ ls

aspell6-en-2020.12.07-0

cocoAspell-master

I do not know what are the files .rws
They seem byproducts without further role, and I cleaned them by:
make clean

(5) System Preferences doesn't show
cocoAspell preference pane
So, I haven't actually done the installion?

I'll continue during the day, hoping for help with
- the cocoAspell installation
- the cocoAspell preference pane
- Where should I move the directory:

Sierra & cocoAspell
to install / activate the macro?

Best Regards,
Roussanka
