I'm new to PowerShell and I know on PowerShell on windows you need to run as administrator to update the help files, but how do you update help files on PowerShell on Mac?

At this time, it does not look like the Update-Help Cmdlet is supported for Mac or Linux. For the time being I would suggest going to the technet website for each help file.
You can get there from the Command Line with the -Online parameter:
Get-Help Write-Output -Online or
Get-Help about_Functions -Online These commands will take you directly to technet page you need. These pages will always be up to date.
