Hi, I *wouldn't recommend to install python packages via sudo*, as it may break system libraries. For installing applications like Beancount, I recommend pipx: https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/. Pipx installs every application under your regular user (no need for sudo) into a separate virtual environment. This is especially useful, if you decide to install Fava, which depends on an older version of Beancount. Follow installation instructions from the pipx docs, then run:
pipx install beancount pipx list # this should list Beancount and its tools like bean-check etc. Best regards, Petr On Sat, 12 Oct 2024 at 22:21, Jason Crews (the1gofer) <jason.cr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Everyone, > > I've tried installing bean count on a m1 macbook, and a m2 mac mini, and > haven't had much luck.
