Have a ESP8266 (D1 Mini NodeMCU), can't find COM port

Development Tools IDE 1.x

Just purchased a ESP8266 board (WeMos) and am trying to set it up.

I have installed the Board with Board Manager, but I can't get the wired COM port to populate under Tools so I can upload a sketch.

Also installed the CH340G driver, but still can't get it to work.
I am using a Mac with iOS High Sierra.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Make sure your USB cable is fully inserted into the Arduino board and the computer.

You may be using a charge-only or defective USB cable. Try a different cable or test your cable on another device to confirm that it works for data.
