Issue installing on MacOS10.15.5

[muunetheus]

Attempted to install on MacOS10.15.5 using Python2. Received following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "install_Distro.py", line 222, in

I encountered the same issue. I recently started using Mac, coming from linux. Not much of a pro on Mac. But could not make it work. The install_distro.py script seems poorly designed and haven't been updated in quite a while. llvm current version is 10. 4 is too old. check out some other alternatives ? I am going to do the same.

If you are using pytorch probably try this https://github.com/hughperkins/pytorch-coriander ?

I think its because the http in the python install file needs to be changed to https. It worked for me then.

Also, I had to add
export CPATH=/usr/local/include:/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX11.1.sdk/usr/include
to my .zshrc file to get the custom llvm to see system headers.

Now I'm dealing with errors to do with free and malloc being called from what it thinks is device functions...

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/12.0.0/include/cuda_wrappers/new:58:7: error: 
      reference to __host__ function 'free' in __device__ function
    ::free(ptr);
      ^

This is just the cuda example file that I am trying to compile.
