Can't run MacTeX from command line

Hi,

Just installed TeX Live on MacBook running Ventura 13.4.1

Seems to work fine from the Tex Live app but I can’t make it work from the command line (which I prefer to use) despite doing:

MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/doc/man:$MANPATH; export MANPATH 
INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/doc/info:$INFOPATH; export INFOPATH

and confirming that these environment variables are defined as above. 

>> echo $MANPATH
/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/doc/man:
>> echo $INFOPATH
/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/doc/info:


The documentation stated:
You can switch back and forth between TEX Live 2023 and your old distribution by using the program TeX Live Utility in /Applications/TeX. Run this program and select the menu item “Reconfigure Distributions...” in the Configure menu.

But the menu item ‘Reconfigure Distributions’ does not appear in the app.
