 1.  Install [brew](https://brew.sh).
 2.  Install mono: `brew install mono`.
 3.  If the pseudo mono folder `/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions` does not exist, create it by running `sudo mkdir -p /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions`.
-4.  Link homebrew mono to pseudo mono folder: `sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/mono/6.12.0.182 /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current`. Here, `6.12.0.182` is the brew-installed mono version, please check your installed version. Navigate to `/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions` and run `ls -l` to verify that the link `Current` points to `/opt/homebrew/Cellar/mono/6.12.0.182`. If `Current` points to a different installation and/or `/opt/homebrew/Cellar/mono/6.12.0.182` is referenced by a different link, delete the corresponding links and run `sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/mono/6.12.0.182 Current`.

+NOTE, Homebrew installs the most recent version of mono, which may give rise to the following error on the M1 platform (which is due to an incompatible architecture for the files in the mono library): 
+
+RuntimeError: Failed to create a default .NET runtime, which would
+                    have been "mono" on this system. Either install a
+                    compatible runtime or configure it explicitly via
+                    `set_runtime` or the `PYTHONNET_*` environment variables
+                    (see set_runtime_from_env).
+
+In this case, it is possible to install mono 6.12.0.182 from the [mono project](https://download.mono-project.com/archive/6.12.0/macos-10-universal/index.html). This version avoids the error.
