Hi there,

Unfortunately, this version of CAVE is very dependent on it's specific version 
of Python3.6.

We are hopefully working on solutions that will be better in the future, but 
this installation 
requires installing python3.6 at the system level (/Library/Frameworks/) and it 
will override
your current setting of python3.

If you use python regularly (3.9) for other things, and don't want to override 
to 3.6, I might 
be able to work directly with you to install 3.6, but then set your default 
python back to 3.9,
and add a short script to run CAVE with the proper version of python.

Let me know if that's something you'd be interested in and we could possibly 
work together next
week some time?

I suspect CAVE will run properly once it's able to use Python3.6.

Thanks.
