I recently switched over from a windows laptop to a macbook pro m3 and wanted to run a phenogramic analysis on the some protein sequences. I discovered that my I was unable to install RAxML (the old version) on my macbook and that there was a new version (RAxML-NG) available. I have downloaded the pre-compiled binary of RAxML-NG for macOS (v1.2.2) but I have no idea where to type the prompts into. Am I supposed to type it into the same terminal that I get when I open the program? I am unable to insert any lines beyond [process completed].

I have also tried opening a new terminal and changing the directory to the folder containing raxml-ng (I'm guessing that this would be the same as opening command prompts on windows and going to the folder which RAxML is located in) and tried typing in "$ raxml-ng -v" just to check if it's working but was met with "command not found".

It seems that it does work, what happens if you type

./raxml-ng -v

in the directory where the executable is located?

If that does do something then you just need to include more command
line paramters in the same line before hitting enter according to the
raxml-ng documentation.
