I have roughly the same system as you, with 10.14.2.  I have successfully 
installed the 8.5 “.app” from the DMG without issue (although I can’t seem to 
start sage in a terminal window).  

I have yet to install from the tarball, but it sounds like you unpacked the 
tarball and then tried to run “./sage”.  Is that correct?  If so, that does not 
work, because the tarball contains only source.  To use it, you have to first 
build it, which, AFAIR, takes about 1-2 hours if you include testing.  It also 
requires you to have the Xcode command-line tools installed.

If you are not up for building from scratch, there should be a .dmg of a 
pre-built 8.5 version for 10.14 at the same place you got the .app version.  
That may work better for you.

If some of that is unclear, or you want more pointers/info, reply back.  There 
is also information available on the sagemath website.
