Resynthesizer loading problem

[Grandit]

I am brand new to Gimp and have limited experience with other photo editors. 
Using a MacBook Pro, M1 with Ventura 13.4.1 OSX
Loaded Gimp from the Gimp website. Seems to load ok. Have loaded a file but that is as far as I went before trying to load Resynthesizer.
Went to the Github site and got the plug in files for Resythesizer.
Next step (according to the Davies Media design site) is to go to "preferences" and find the plug in folders location and then load the file. But I cannot find the "preferences" nor can I see anything related to folders and where to find them.

Any ideas? Do I have the wrong version ion Gimp nstalled?

I do not see the preferences option in the drop down menu under "Gimp":

Nor do I see it under the "edit" drop down:

Not many MacOS users on this forum, some come and go. I use linux so this is very sketchy.

Which files did you exactly download. You probably got the source code for compiling. Do you know how to do that ? https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer...er#mac-osx

This page looks more promising https://ports.macports.org/port/gimp-res...r/details/ At least there are a few green ticks there. Is there a MacOS forum somewhere for macports ?

AFAIK, In a Mac Gimp, Preferences should be in is in the very first drop down menu "Gimp" Your screeshots are not showing here. see: https://www.gimp-forum.net/misc.php?action=help&hid=11 for attachments

Davies Media ? why not go and ask him, a source of all knowledge
