 ### Mac OS X
-Tested on version 12.5.1 with M1 pro where command line developer tools are installed. 
+For a clean OS X (Sonoma 14+) installation, if you use Homebrew, the main dependencies can be installed as follows:
+   ```sh
+   brew install hdf5 fftw cfitsio muparser libomp numpy swig
+  ```
+Similarly, if you use MacPorts instead of Homebrew, download the corresponding packages:
+   ```sh
+   sudo port install hdf5 fftw cfitsio muparser libomp numpy swig
+  ```
+Note that if you are using a Mac with Arm64 architecture (M1, M2, or M3 processors), `SIMD_EXTENSIONS` might not run straight away.

+Some combinations of versions of the Apple's clang compiler and python might lead to installation errors.
+In these cases, the user might want to consider the workaround below (tested on version 12.5.1 with M1 pro where command line developer tools are installed).
