### For macOS users
Note that the macOS preinstalled CPython installation is compiled with LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL. There are a number
of issues with LibreSSL, and as such is not fully supported by the libraries used by btcli. Thus we highly recommend, if
you are using a Mac, to first install Python from [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/). Additionally, the Rust FFI bindings
[if installing from precompiled wheels (default)] require the Homebrew-installed OpenSSL pacakge. If you choose to use
the preinstalled Python version from macOS, things may not work completely.
