MacPorts provides GNU equivalents to the native BSD ones. You can always check if there is a `gsed` binary and use it (or check the OS, but checking direct behavior is always best).

But yes, macOS is a Unix, not a Linux.

Then you run into Mac scripts expecting the BSD ones when you installed GNU. Similar issue with changing shell to bash.
