Yeah, and while there are a lot of brew instructions, they're sad - cuz 
they don't tell you that they only work with the two most recent 
versions of MacOS. If you're like me, running Mojave, or anything older 
than current - 1, you're out of look. Thankfully, macports just keeps 
ticking (I ditched homebrew after asking the maintainer if he'd consider 
supporting Mojave and he said, no plans to do so). That was quite a 
while ago :). I upgraded full on macports a couple of days ago no 
problems and am grateful for macports!
