For a long time you did not need a package manager or installers or anything like that on Macs. Just drag the application to your Applications folder and it was installed. I was always skeptical of Mac software that came with an ‘installer’. Like, what on earth is so complicated that the developer thought he needed a separate executable merely to copy the application over??
