If you're looking the one compatible with raspberry pi, you probably have brew, so vnc-viewer is an option

brew install --cask vnc-viewer
it's compatible with pi's (4 at least) vnc settings, so simply connect via the ip address (get it with netstat) like 192.168.100.5, the home.local didn't work

or
brew install tiger-vnc

The MacOS Screen Sharing VNC method does NOT allow for copy / paste into non-mac machines.
