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!
