Update: I’ve found xslutil in /applications/xslutility.app/contents/resources/xslutil/bin
However, I’m still not able to execute it. When I enter ‘xslutil’ from the above directory, the shell says command not found: zsh: command not found: xslutil I’m sure I’m missing something simple, but I don’t understand why I can’t launch xslutil from the command line.
