If you you can single command in Linux, what prevented you to do the same on Macos? brew install <the_commandline_tool> and you should have been able to run the command in macos too.

That's a weird assumption. I am not talking about cd and grep I am talking about one of the thousands of tools available in any Linux repo.

It's more likely to get it run on WSL than assuming it would just work on a Mac.

But could provide one of the thousand that you are having trouble running on MacOS? Genuinely curious despite my comment sounding like I am trying to defend MacOS.
