3. If you do not have homebrew installed, follow the instructions on brew.sh to install Homebrew. (At this time, the instructions are to run the following command in your terminal /bin/bash -c “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" )
4. Run brew -update (Note: This step and the following step, may take a while depending on how long it’s been since you’ve upgraded brew.)
