Okay. I don't see anything wrong with having another package manager, so I can go with macports since you know more about it. In this case, how do you go about using macports to install and set-up sdl then? (I already have macports installed and can also go ahead and install X11 if that is necessary. (Is it?))

I found this list:
https://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=libsdl

including libsdl2 2.0.5.

Following what I see here: https://guide.macports.org/


Code:
$ port variants libsdl2
libsdl2 has the variants:
   universal: Build for multiple architectures
   x11: Enable X11 support



In that case, would it be best for me to install X11 first and have both variants installed, or should I just pick one or neither?


Code:
$ sudo port install libsdl2 +universal +x11


^ like this?

Should I install any of the other ports listed on the macports page?

Afterwards, what other steps do I need to take before I can write a "hello world" so-to-speak?

Thank you for helping.
