An alternative installation method can be used to install DITA-OT via
    Homebrew, one of the most popular open-source package managers on macOS and Linux.
    Before you begin
      The steps below assume you have already installed
        Homebrew according to the instructions at
        brew.sh.
      Tip: Verify that your
        
PATH environment variable begins with the 
bin subfolder of the Homebrew installation directory
        
1 to ensure that Homebrew-installed software
        takes precedence over any programs of the same name elsewhere on the system.
 
    
    Procedure
- 
        Update Homebrew to make sure the latest package formulas are available on your system:
        $ brew update
Already up-to-date.
 
          Homebrew responds with a list of any new or updated formulæ. 
 
- Optional: 
        Check the version of DITA-OT that is available from Homebrew:
        $ brew info dita-ot
dita-ot: stable 4.3.1

Downloading…
 
          Homebrew will automatically download the latest version of the toolkit, install it in a subfolder of the
            local package Cellar and symlink the dita command to the bin
            subfolder of the Homebrew installation directory. 
 
- Optional: 
        Verify the installation:
        $ which dita
/opt/homebrew/bin/dita
 
          The response confirms that the system will use the Homebrew-installed version of DITA-OT. 
 
- Optional: 
        Check the DITA-OT version number:
        $ dita --version
DITA-OT version 4.3.1
 
The DITA-OT version number appears on the console.

      You can now run the dita command to transform DITA content.
