Lazarus Trunk & macOS Sequoia
madref:
Has anyone successfully installed Lazarus Trunk on macOS Sequoia?
If so how did you do it?
I am using a 2,7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor on a MacBook Pro from 2016

Using trunk can always be a hit or a miss so you mileage may vary.
By far the easiest method (as in you do not have to do a lot of technical details) is by using FPCUpdeluxe (wiki / github)
For your specific use case you can use the following download: https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/download/v2.4.0e/fpcupdeluxe-x86_64-darwin-cocoa.zip
When using FPCUpdeluxe do not use a system wide (FPC?Laz) installation, instead use FPCUpDeluxe to control your (multiple) installations (*)
If installing multiple versions of Lazarus make sure to understand Multiple Lazarus article. FPCUpdeluxe does take care of this for you but it is important to know that every individual Lazarus installation needs to use its own configuration.
(*) edit: technically not necessary but it will avoid any issues regarding an already existing installation, especially FPC. This because Lazarus favours the system wide installed FPC compiler under certain conditions.

I Tried FPCupDeluxe, but ran into errors like on this thread and this thread.

Ah yes, one of the infamous mac issues.
Don't read the following as a direct response to your reply rather a generic one for those reading this thread.
With regards to the first thread: As I wrote before on that subject: is the error/issue reported somewhere ? (I know the answer to that, and if the reader knows as well than how is this ever going to be resolved ?)
With regards to the second thread: has someone already tried the pre-release version of FPCUpDeluxe and does the same error occur ?
FPCUpDeluxe has a repository where issues can be reported and there is a dedicated FPCUpDeluxe thread here on the forum.
fwiw: We can't expect Don Alfredo or other developers to pick up on every thread that comes along cross fingers and hope everything will automagically be resolved.
Normally I would report such a thing myself but I do not own the hardware so can't test, therefor can't analyze and as a result am unable to gather the necessary details that are required to make such a report.
To get back to your specific issue madref, how good are your skills with regard to using a command-line and issuing command (e.g. are you confident enough) ? see also wiki (do note that this requires an already existing and working/configured installation of the FPC compiler, and in case experimenting without w heads up: don't forget about the multiple lazarus versions and its configuration. If you forget to do that step you are able to wreck your existing Lazarus configuration e.g. make sure to backup and also do not issue a make install, rather after the make commands copy the lazarus (source) directory somewhere where you have enough access rights).

I don't feel that confident. But don't worry I am installing on a fresh macOS Sequoia
