<div>Hi Etsuko</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>Inside QGIS 3.30.x for macOS there are still the old libraries of SAGA version 7.8 and so the SAGA Next Gen plugin works without providing any paths. I use this system. If, on the other hand, you want something more such as using SAGA 9, the latest version,
where there are many new algorithms, you need to download SAGA for Mac, currently 9.0.2, directly from the SAGA website:</div>
<div><a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/saga-gis/files/SAGA%20-%209/SAGA%20-%209.0.2/" target="_blank">https://sourceforge.net/projects/saga-gis/files/SAGA%20-%209/SAGA%20-%209.0.2/</a></div>
<div>It is a normal application that you drag into Applications. Then in QGIS inside Processing > Providers > SAGANG > SAGA folder enter the path:</div>
<div>/Applications/SAGA.app/Contents/MacOS</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Press OK and you have all the algorithms in the latest version of SAGA 9: QGIS works fine.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For those who have the Apple Silicon processor, however, better install QGIS3, currently 3.28.7, from MacPorts. QGIS3 is native with all the native external libraries (including SAGA, GDAL, Grass, etc.) and the performance is spectacular.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards</div>
