I have an Intel Mac and I'm trying to install Firedrake to use in python. I followed the instructions and ran

$ brew install $(python3 firedrake-configure --show-system-packages)

but I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/name/Desktop/firedrake-configure", line 523, in <module>
    main()
    ~~~~^^
  File "/Users/name/Desktop/firedrake-configure", line 124, in main
    package_manager = sniff_package_manager()
  File "/Users/name/Desktop/firedrake-configure", line 161, in sniff_package_manager
    raise RuntimeError(
    ...<2 lines>...
    )
RuntimeError: No package manager detected, if you want to configure Firedrake without any system packages please pass '--no-package-manager'

When I try to install it with the no-package-manager flag, it tells me that a package manager must be used.

Can someone help me to solve this problem?

    The installation instructions also list the packages that will get installed, so you could just install those directly, without firedrake-configure (brew install autoconf automake boost...). FWIW, it's running brew --version to see if Homebrew is installed. Commented yesterday
