MacOS is my least favorite *nix operative system, however I spend a lot of time on it for work.
I would like to test some CLI function of Inkscape but for the way the bundles work in macOS there is not direct access of inkscape from the terminal.
Hence the best way is to create an alias that targets the Inkscape binary we need to use. These are the instruction, all the followings commands are meant to use in the terminal!
nano .bash_profile
copy and paste
alias inkscape='/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/MacOS/./inkscape'
