Any progress here? This install is a huge barrier to entry for many (we tried this at a meetup, and only 2 were able to get past install). Just tried again with 10.16, 11.9, 11.15, none are working currently. Is there a stable version available? (Even tried npm install -g embark@4.0.2). You have the best contract runtime, I want to introduce new developers using this, but its impossible without install working 😃
