Congratulations, Siril is now installed.

Installation from Homebrew
==========================

Homebrew is similar to MacPorts and provides packages (aka formulae) to install, either by compiling them from source or by using pre-compiled binaries (aka bottles). To install Homebrew, click `here <https://brew.sh/>`_.
Siril can be installed with::
   
    brew install siril

.. note::
   Please be aware that it was announced that Homebrew is using analytics. To turn this off, run: ``brew analytics off``
   You can read more about this on `Brew Analytics <https://docs.brew.sh/Analytics>`_.
