Port Scan in Terminal (macOS ver. 11.0.1)

Hello,


I was wondering how can you initiate a port scan now that macOS Big Sur has deprecated Network Utility?


Thanks,

Netcat in Big Sur is named nc(1), and netmap.org last compiled the downloadable nmap-7.9.1.dmg installer in Oct. 2020. The installer tosses it into the /usr/local tree. I chose not to install it. The nmap feature is not installed by macOS.
