I use "fink".  I tried using [Home]Brew (a couple of different times) but
it required messing with stock directories (like /usr/local) and had some
other shortcomings (see
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/32724/what-are-pros-and-cons-for-macports-fink-and-homebrew
)

But it seems like Chicory is a bit different from these "make Linux/Unix-y
tools/packages available on MacOS via turnkey system", right?  The latter
are more like communities/efforts/infrastructures to get ports to work, but
Chicory seems more like a toolkit that might be used to implement such a
community/effort/infrastructure.  Or did I misunderstand the write-up?
