Tips for macOS Users

Tip

Before getting started with package managers, please check what you manually installed in /usr/local. If you find entries in bin/, lib/ et al. that look like you manually installed MPI, HDF5 or other software in the past, then remove those files first.

If you find software such as MPI in the same directories that are shown as symbolic links then it is likely you brew installed software before. If you are trying annother package manager than brew, run brew unlink … on such packages first to avoid software incompatibilities.
