Lesson 5: Brownie Simple Storage : Unable to Install brownie on Mac (OSX) via pipx ,pip and pip3

[ghost]

I tried to install brownie as specified in the tutorial and installing brownie page but I'm getting the error as shown below.I feel like after trying all possibilities I've reached dead end from my side . Please help cause I need to move forward with the tutorial

This is the error I'm getting when trying to install on MAC

Fatal error from pip prevented installation 
Full pip output in file: /Users/rafeliafernandes/.local/pipx/logs/cmd_2023-03-30_08.38.31_pip_errors.log

pip failed to build packages: 
bitarray 
cytoolz 
lru-dict 
multidict 
psutil 
regex 
yarl

Some possibly relevant errors from pip install this was after running xcode-select --install before running pipx install eth-brownie:

error: subprocess-exited-with-error xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun error: command '/usr/bin/clang' failed with exit code 1
Error installing eth-brownie

I also tried to install all the packages that pip failed to build (like bitarray ,cytoolz ,lru-dict ,multidict ,psutil ,regex ,yarl)individually but got same errors

I even tried to install brownie using pip and pip3 but got same errors

The solution for this is to downgrade from python 3.11 to python 3.10 and redo the installation steps as shown on freeCodeCamp.org's Solidity, Blockchain, and Smart Contract Course – Beginner to Expert Python Tutorial
