Installing a toilet in place of a shower in the garage

Hello. I want to build a tiny half bathroom in my garage, with the toilet in the spot a of where an old shower was. I removed the shower already and Im thinking of the easiest and most budget friendly way of putting the toilet in. I know that the shower drain pipe is to small. The toilet would be only used very occasionally but I dont want to have troubles with it in the future. The drain pipe inside diameter is 2.5" but the pipe which is deeper is not more than 2". The floor is concrete and the back wall is concrete as well. There is a washer water drain and a water heater next to where the toilet is planning to be installed.

I am considering a macerator pump or a macerator pump built-in toilet from links below:

I know the best way would be to install a new drain and a standard toilet but I have no idea where the main sewer line is.

What would you recommend?
Is there any way to install a toilet in that spot?

Thank you!
