How fix macOS Catalina error "not authorized to send apple events to terminal"?

Question

When trying to open Maxima.app under macOS Catalina (10.15.1), I get a pop-up error message ""Not authorized to send apple events to terminal".

Where, exactly, in he Catalina System Preferences (presumably somewhere in Security & Privacy) do I allow the access?

The Automation section seems a plausible place, except that I see no way to add any app there.

You can use a launcher to avoid this error. For instance: http://webdiis.unizar.es/u/spd/WxMaximaSPD.zip Source:

do shell script "bash -c 'export M_PREFIX=/Applications/Maxima.app/Contents/Resources/opt; export PYTHONPATH=${M_PREFIX}/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/; export MANPATH=${M_PREFIX}/share/man:$MANPATH; export PATH=${M_PREFIX}/bin:$PATH; open -a ${M_PREFIX}/Applications/wxMaxima.app'"
