How can I acquire or download the shp2pgsql file that I need for the

All of the online searches for a solution have not been helpful.
Supposedly, shp2pgsql is supposed to just be there when postgis is
installed, but it's not. I even tried updating postgis with: ALTER
EXTENSION postgis UPDATE;
...but the message just says it's already there: NOTICE: version
"3.0.0" of extension "postgis" is already installed.
Where can I find the elusive file so I can install it properly?
Here are the specifics of my system:
Location: AWS EC2 instance
OS: FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p7 GENERIC amd64
PG Location: /usr/local/lib/postgresql/
PG Version: PostgreSQL 11.7 on amd64-portbld-freebsd12.1, compiled by
FreeBSD clang version 8.0.1 (tags/RELEASE_801/final 366581) (based on
LLVM 8.0.1), 64-bit
locate shp2pgsql returns nothing
I understood that I should find shp2pgsql in /usr/local/lib/postgresql/,
but its not there. BTW, it's not in /usr/lib/ either, which is where
most of the online sources say it should be.
I would welcome any insight into finding the missing shp2pgsql file.
Thanks for your help!
How did you install PostGIS?
