just got my first macbook for work and was told to install this app. in the instructions it says run these 3 commands

/usr/sbin/groupadd --system username
/usr/sbin/useradd --system --gid username groupname
chown -R user:group /usr/local/foldername

i know mac doesn't have groupadd and useradd, but i've spent over 2 hours on google and i still cant figure it out. i've done tons of dscl dseditgroup cmds all with no luck. please help rewrite these 3 lines for me in mac unix!!
