Instead of running "monero-blockchain-prune" (which seem to have been removed), you can run "monerod" with the "--prune-blockchain" flag.

On macOS, you'll need to use Terminal. cd to the folder that contains "monerod", then run "./monerod --prune-blockchain".

Here's what it looked like when I ran it. (It is still running, pruning the blockchain will take some time, but far less than 5 days to download it all again).
