where does the macOS package installer put the program? i can't find it

[eliljegr]

I'm very confused because I ran the installer package, it said that the installation was successful, but I can't find the program anywhere on my computer. It's not in the list of applications, and it when i search for pandoc, my computer doesn't find any files/programs with that name other than the installer package. I ran it twice because I thought maybe it didn't work the first time, but that didn't help and now I'm afraid I installed 2 copies of it that I can't find anywhere. I also have absolutely no idea how to uninstall it. I read the website instructions but as I am not great with technology I do not even know how to run a script, lol. thank you!

It should be in /usr/local/bin/pandoc. Perhaps this is not in your PATH?

Try /usr/local/bin/pandoc --version; if it works, then the problem is simply that /usr/local/bin is not in your PATH and you can add it.

i was able to find it by pasting that location in! thank you so much :) now I just have to learn how to use the command terminal thing haha

A useful free application for macOS is Suspicious Package, which enables installer packages to be inspected to see what is going to be installed, where, and what any installation scripts are going to do before actually running the package.

You won't have installed two copies, the second installation would have overwritten the first.

Pandoc is a command line program, so you will have to learn how to execute those.
