For most it is a breeze  however like you I had a difficult time installing jq   The best resources I found are  https   stedolan github io jq download   and  http   macappstore org jq   However neither worked for me  I run python 2  amp  3  and use brew in addition to pip  as well as Jupyter  I was only successful after brew uninstall jq then updating brew and rebooting my system  What worked for me was removing all previous installs then pip install jq
