Mac local installation update #4516
Conversation
I have tried a lot of different install procedures. This has been flawless since.
WalkthroughThe pull request modifies the ESPHome installation guide, specifically focusing on the Mac installation section. The changes clarify that while ESPHome supports Mac, specific installation guidance is now provided. The recommended installation method has been updated to emphasize using Homebrew, including the installation command. Additionally, the version number for testing the installation has been updated, and a new note for troubleshooting Homebrew installations has been added. The Windows and Linux sections remain unchanged. Changes

Fix incorrect version number
The version number 2024.12.0 appears to be incorrect as it's beyond the current date.

+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
+
+2. Install ESPHome:
+
.. code-block:: console
