Just discovered this as well. I'm assuming it's real and we should get the README info in the Package Manger section updated? If I have time later this week I'll submit a PR.

Submitted a few PRs on the ArchiveBox docs to remove references to brew install archivebox as an installation option for macOS platforms.

The automated setup script (bin/setup.sh) will need updated as well.

I'm not sure if the macOS flow if Docker isn't installed should follow the new simplified pip/pipx installation for macOS or if it should follow the bare metal installation combining brew for dependency installation + pip for archivebox.

@pirate if you have an opinion on the above / which flow the script should follow, I'm happy to open a PR in accordance
