IntelliJ IDEA | Settings | Tools | File Watchers - New Watcher for macOS

Ctrl+Alt+S the Settings icon

The dialog opens when you click the Add  the Add button or Edit  the Edit button button on the File Watchers page. Use the dialog to create a project File Watcher based on a predefined IntelliJ IDEA File Watcher template or to edit an existing project File Watcher.

Each template contains the settings that are optimal for the selected tool. So in most cases, all you need is specify the path to the tool's executable.
