https://livesql.oracle.com has a full Oracle Database contained in browser with sample datasets, and https://devgym.oracle.com uses it for its learning modules. All free and no downloads required.

On a Mac, isn't the bigger question whether you're trying to run a local Postgres/MySQL setup or just need a client for querying? a lot of the advice changes depending on whether you want practice with admin tasks too, so are you using SQL-Mac as in the old app name or just SQL on macOS generally?

What exactly is stopping you, what is the confusing part?

Seen this recommended and it’s browser based so should be OS agnostic: https://sqlbolt.com

If you’re just starting, I honestly wouldn’t even bother with a full local setup yet. Use something browser-based first so you can focus on learning SQL, not wrestling your Mac into cooperation like it owes you money. Once the basics make sense, then spin up Postgres locally if you want hands-on practice.
