  I don’t think you can. WordPress.ORG is the one you download and it’s unneeded if it’s a pc (or Mac in this case) as you simply access it from the Internet. But your WordPress is .COM so You can’t use .ORG stuff to manage ur site

  @jdc2018 – yet another wrong answer

  @10streams – you can install WordPress.ORG on your Mac – common for development blogs – but you need to get help at WordPress.ORG for the install

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG and need support for that site in the future and if you do not have a WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
