Normally it should be in the Applications folder in Finder.

You can try using Launchpad or Spotlight Search to try to find it.


If its not there, you can always try to download it form the Mac App Store, though the current version may not work on Ventura.


If its not in your purchase history you may not be able to download a compatible version.
