Quick method:
change /private/etc/paths
putting ahead /usr/local/...
<span style="color: #ff0000;">/usr/local/bin</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">/usr/local/sbin</span> /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /sbin
Then, unzip this precompiled rsync into /usr/local/bin
Restart the Terminal and run
rsync --version
This should be the output:
