Describe the Bug

I'll preface this by saying I'm running macOS Monterey (12.6.1).

So I've downloaded the sunshine.dmg file from the latest release, and I installed the pkg file. The installation succeeded, but I didn't find an application entry in either the Applications folder, or the Launchpad.
I tried launching it using Terminal, but there doesn't seem to be a sunshine command.

I've gone through all of the documentation, but there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to run the server on macOS. Maybe I'm missing something?

Expected Behavior

I would expect Sunshine to appear as an app in the Launchpad, and when running, I would expect to see an icon in the app bar that indicated such.

Sunshine has no GUI (other than a light web app) and we don't start it in the background for macOS. The install package you used is experimental, I would try using the macports install instead - https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/en/latest/about/installation.html#portfile
