This seems like a very basic question, but I can't seem to find a straightforward answer online after searching for very long.

I am using xampp, but can't seem to find the control panel.

The only application I have is manager-osx

Is there something missing in my download? Or is there a procedure to run the control panel?

Thank you very much!

Yeah, thanks @Jon's answer helped me out in the end, indirectly. They should make a cross platform with Electron, it's 2018 already! :).

But you can pick the Manage Servers tab and have similar functionality on MAC:

XAMPP Control Panel - Called Manager OSX

I find it most annoying that the Xampp manager doesn't have XAMPP in the name, but is vaguely called 'manager-osx'. This way you can't quickly find it through OS X's Spotlight search. The names comes across as a bit of egocentric of the developers thinking they've made only manager application. But yeah; it's freeware...
