On Mac you may have multiple LyX applications on your system.
The standard location is the folder /Applications and the name
is LyX.app. There it is located in Contents/Resources/lyx2lyx/.
So, the standard is
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx
But the application bundle is completely relocatable. It is up
to the owner of the Mac to know where the „current“ LyX.app is
located.
