Answer 1

For most it is a breeze, however like you I had a difficult time installing jq

The best resources I found are: https://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/ and http://macappstore.org/jq/

However neither worked for me. I run python 2 & 3, and use brew in addition to pip, as well as Jupyter. I was only successful after brew uninstall jq then updating brew and rebooting my system

What worked for me was removing all previous installs then pip install jq
