twemojis package can't be used, doesn't show up locally, AND can't be installed?

Question

When you search CTAN twemojis package, you find it: https://ctan.org/pkg/twemojis.

When I try to use it, it says package not found.

\usepackage{twemojis}

! LaTeX Error: File `twemojis.sty' not found.

When I try to download it, it says package not found.

❯ tlmgr install twemojis
tlmgr: package repository https://ctan.asis.ai/systems/texlive/tlnet (verified)
tlmgr install: package twemojis not present in repository.
tlmgr: action install returned an error; continuing.
tlmgr: An error has occurred. See above messages. Exiting.

❯ tlmgr install --repository="https://gitlab.com/rossel.jost/latex-twemojis"
/Library/TeX/texbin/tlmgr: TLPDB::from_file could not initialize from: https://gitlab.com/rossel.jost/latex-twemojis/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb
/Library/TeX/texbin/tlmgr: Maybe the repository setting should be changed.
/Library/TeX/texbin/tlmgr: More info: https://tug.org/texlive/acquire.html

What to do ?

Tlmgr will only install packages that are part of TeX Live. You will have to download it from CTAN and manually install it. If you need help with that let us know. — Herb Schulz, Jun 16 '21 at 14:05
I'm on MacOS. I downloaded the .zip package from CTAN. Then I extracted the zip file, and got a directory called twemojis. It contains a few files: .dtx, .ins, .sty, the documentation as a .pdf, and some assets in a sub-directory. Now what ? — 8c6b5df0d16ade6c, Jun 16 '21 at 14:39
First just put the .sty file and the folder of pdf images in the same folder as your document. — Herb Schulz, Jun 17 '21 at 16:20
If you wish to use it with other documents there is another place to put the sty and folder where it will be found. — Herb Schulz, Jun 19 '21 at 15:49

Create the texmf/tex/latex/twemojis in ~/Library; i.e, create a texmf folder in ~/Library then a tex folder inside the ~/Library/texmf folder, etc. To open ~/Library, the Library folder in your HOME folder, the Go->Library (Shift-Cmd-L) may be there. If not, click on the Go Menu and press and hold the Option key to make that menu item appear.

Place the .sty and folder of images inside the ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/twemojis folder.

That's it.
