+Python (python2.7.x) is no longer provided with the MacOS version 12.3 (Monterey), but is a part of standard MacOS for earlier versions. If there is no other need to install ``python`` as ``python2``, you could create a symbolic link to ``python3``. The example below shows python3 being installed using Homebrew with the path ``$BREW/bin/python3``, and subsequent link created for a default ``python``:
 
 .. code-block:: console
 
     brew install python3
     cd $BREW/bin
     ln -s python3 python
 
+where $BREW is set as ``BREW=$(brew --prefix)``.
 Another way to create a link is from one of User's directories, e.g., $HOME/bin, which could be added to the search $PATH for binaries:
 
 .. code-block:: console
