Continuing the discussion from [Hugo 0.55.1 released](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/hugo-0-55-1-released/18083): Yes, homebrew and friends are great, but you don’t have to wait on them 🙂 as you can always do something like the below

```nohighlight
pushd /tmp

wget https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.55.1/hugo_extended_0.55.1_macOS-64bit.tar.gz

tar xzvf hugo_extended_0.55.1_macOS-64bit.tar.gz

cp hugo /usr/local/bin

popd

hugo version

```

Thank you, sir! Unfortunately, it didn’t fix the particular issue I hoped it would fix, but perhaps in time… 🙂
