Previously I had experienced misery but now success, well so far - half an 
hour in.  Of course I can't remember the exact sequence but here is my best 
guess.  I think I installed Python first then SIP, I installed pyqt5  
before qt, which can't be right but it seems to work! I used pip to install 
pyqt5 because I read somewhere this is  good thing. I have no idea. Spool 
to end to see what I didn't do compared with Leo Docs...

---------------------------------------------------------

Get the xcode command line tools which match the highest version of Xcode 
that works with your version of MacOS. I didn't want to upgrade to Mac 
silicon versions of the OS and Mojave is the last version of MacOS that 
will run 32 bit apps which I wanted to stay with. 

You don't need the full xcode package, which is good is that is ~8GB). You 
will need a free Apple developer log in.

 I installed 10.3

---------------------------------------------------------
I installed everything below while in /usr/local
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
First install HomeBrew

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

---------------------------------------------------------
install python3.9

brew install python

---------------------------------------------------------
install SIP

brew install SIP

---------------------------------------------------------
install pyqt 

python3 -m pip install PyQt5
---------------------------------------------------------
install qt5

brew install qt5
----------------------------------------------------------
Get Leo from Git

sudo git clone --depth=500 --no-single-branch 
https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor 

---------------------------------------------------------

run Leo

python3 launchleo.py

---------------------------------------------------------

Compared to the instructions in the docs, I did not add this to my bash 
profile-

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH # This is for SIP (and PyQt) as suggested 
by Homebrew export 
PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH

I was worried about the PYTHONPATH etc but as these instruction refer to 
python2.7 I just ignored them. No doubt disaster awaits somewhere.
