Newbie Problem with MacOS Terminal Stuff

MacPorts Homebrew
  1. The MacPorts Project is an open-source community initiative to design an easy-to-use system for compiling, installing, and upgrading either command-line, X11 or Aqua based open-source software on the Mac OS X operating system.

    That being said, I'm going to assume that you're working on MacO. Flatpaks aren't going to be an option, that's only going to work if you're using Linux (like Fedora, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch, Mint, and so on). If you need to install HandBrake, you may want to consider using macports.org, or brew.sh, these are projects that provide additional libraries and packages for MacOS, this way you can install additional command line (and non-command line) applications to the system. These require some setup in order to enable it, but once enabled you'll be able to use either the "port" command or the "brew" command, depending on which you installed, to install/update/remove additional packages. Alternatively, you could just manually install the various packages directly into MacOS, either by getting the universal packages or following the specific instructions for whatever software you're trying to install.
