App Store is the primary package manager on Mac (which can be used from CLI). Homebrew is the defacto standard complimentary package manager on Mac. Whether you like the fact it is the defacto standard or not is irrelevant.

How so? I’m not aware of anything built-in that allows for this.


This can be done using the mas-cli. It's not official, but works decently well.

mas-cli uses private API to do this, so it's not like this is something that Apple encourages or provides ready access to.
