You can also install SiliconCompiler from the latest `SiliconCompiler GitHub Repository <https://github.com/siliconcompiler/siliconcompiler>`_. This option is currently

+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ brew install bison
+ brew install flex
+
+Ensure that the path to the Homebrew packages takes priority over system
+packages in your ``$PATH``. Run ``brew --prefix`` to determine where Homebrew

.. code-block:: bash
git clone https://github.com/siliconcompiler/siliconcompiler
