Hi Christoph,
Yes homebrew and macports are no longer a must.
For me a convenient routine is to install Anaconda distribution for python
on Mac then
install kwant via conda. It also has the advantage that one doesn't need
bother
with the MUMPS dependence.
Best,
Xin Dai

Hi everyone,
Are there any Mac enthusiasts out there who would volunteer to help us to maintain the packaging of Kwant on that important platform?
The packaging of Kwant for MacOS X [1] is outdated [2]. Both homebrew [3] and macports [4] seem to be still at the stage of Kwant 1.0. This is because, to my knowledge, none of the devs of Kwant is using a Mac any longer.
There’s the Conda packaging by Bas Nijholt. Does this mean that homebrew and macports are no longer needed?
Mac users, raise your voice!
Christoph
