Version: https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman/releases/tag/v6.0.2

On macOS you should be able to just run the .pkg with right click and open or install it via terminal

I have tried both but neither works. It prints installer: The install was successful. but nothing is installed.

➜  ~ sudo installer -pkg ~/Downloads/devkitpro-pacman-installer.pkg -target /
installer: Package name is devkitpro-pacman-installer
installer: Installing at base path /
installer: The install was successful.
➜  ~ ls /opt 
devkitpro-old homebrew
➜  ~ ls /
Applications Users        cores        home         sbin         var

System       bin          etc          private      usr

Re-download devkitpro-pacman-installer.pkg and try again. That should be working now.

Also: fwiw, this will install fine over the top of the old folder and retain already installed packages rather than having to install everything from scratch again.

It works. Thank you.

BTW I renamed the folder to troubleshoot the reason why pacman version doesn't change. I don't do it usually.
