If instead you downloaded a non-app version, i.e. in the case of Sage 7.3 it would be sage-7.3-OSX_10.11.6-x86_64.dmg then just open Terminal application, cd to corresponding folder, and start ./sage at the command prompt. E.g. assuming at step 2) you put sage into Applications, in the Terminal you will need to type
$ cd /Applications/SageMath $ ./sage (note that '$' is the terminal prompt, you don't need to type it) At the 1st run of ./sage you would have to wait for a while before you see 'sage: ' subsequent runs will start much faster.
