**NOTE for macOS Users**: in the previous command we also installed a modern version of `bash`.
This is because macOS ships with an very outdated version (circa 2007) of `bash`, due to licensing issues.
Homebrew should install a modern version (at least v5).
If scripts are failing on macOS, check that the Homebrew copy of bash is on the path, eg: `/opt/homebrew/bin/bash`.

> To determine if you are using an Apple with Silicon or an Intel-based processor, select the **Apple** menu icon in the top-left of the desktop and click **About This Mac**. On Mac computers with Apple silicon, About This Mac shows an item labeled **Chip**, followed by the name of the chip (ex. **Chip** Apple M1 Pro). On Mac computers with an Intel processor, About This Mac shows an item labeled **Processor**, followed by the name of an Intel processor.
