[Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) is widely used in the Mac community, particularly amongst developers. We recommend using the [B2 CLI Homebrew](https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/b2-tools) formula as the quickest setup method for Mac users:
22

```
23

brew install b2-tools

+
python3 setup.py install

In this case of installing a pre-release, [virtualenv](https://pypi.org/project/virtualenv/) is strongly recommended.
