Issue with Firedrake installation

[sarshia]

Hello,

I am trying to install Firedrake on a new laptop after having installed it on my old laptop. However, I am getting the following error:

Running firedrake-install
Installing command line tools...
Checking brew doctor...
Installing required packages via homebrew...
Traceback (most recent call last):

Install log saved in /Users/arshiasinghal/Desktop/Rice/Research/firedrake-install.log

Here is the firedrake-install.log. Does this look like an issue related to an incompatibility between the old and new computers or perhaps a missing dependency?

You look to be having issues with homebrew. Can you make sure that it is up-to-date? I think you want to run brew upgrade. You want the command brew doctor to not raise any issues.
I also notice that you are using the system Python rather than a homebrew-installed Python. You should run $(brew --prefix)/bin/python3 firedrake-install to ensure that the correct Python is used.
