On Macos You would need to install homebrew and then use homebrew to install newt so you can use whiptail

Install brew like this:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

and then it's just

brew install newt

Install brew like this: ``` /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" ``` and then it's just ``` brew install newt ```

another thing is that the user should install a newer version of bash. Wondering if this is something that you can do also?

is the command.

brew install bash

This would mean that you would not limit the script to bash 4 before you installed it.

A new mac uses not bash but zsh as the default shell.

Here is some more info on installing bash and setting it as default: https://www.unindented.org/blog/change-shell-to-latest-bash-on-macos/

I have added a little more help to get the needed stuff installed, not brew as this will be beyond the scope of this project. But we do give notice and it should get the needed idea across let me know what you think.
