Some years ago I managed to instal Leo on to my Intel  Macbook Air, posted 
the details here: MacOS install Success - Mojave 
I am no expert and the process was fraught and lengthy... for me at least.  
And eventually after an OS upgrade I lost Leo again on my Mac. And have 
been without for a couple of years now. So I was intrigued and thrilled 
when I saw your post.  My install using your suggested method was not 
completely pain free. I have Zshell installed, I don't know why... and that 
meant faff at least I think that was what caused the issues with where 
Homebrew is installed and creating and editing the .zshrc file and 
installing wget. 

HOWEVER - I can't thank you enough - the uv bit is genius - I know it's not 
clicking on a windows installer... but it has restored Leo to my MacOs 
computing world and that is worth many, many thanks.
