installing lynx browser on macOS montery version 12.6.8

Lynx is only available in source code for macOS and you will have to address its many dependencies as a skilled developer when you compile it with Apple's Xcode or Command Line Tools for Xcode. This will be non-trivial.

You can install Lynx using a third-party package manager and it will need to install all of Lynx's dependencies before Lynx can be installed. The package manager will expect that you already have Apple's Command Line Tools for Xcode installed. Here is the dependency tree shown by the homebrew package manager for Lynx. None of this is in macOS by default.

Any update to Lynx may involve additional dependencies and this can get out of control over time.

An alternative with minimal dependencies is w3m:

but will still need a third-party package manager installation and Apple's Command Line tools installed.

In the Terminal:

w3m -v https://foxnews.com

Skip the part of the perl tutorial that involves Lynx. Will save you mountains of headache with Lynx installation.

If you want an alternate browser try Firefox or Brave

The OP probably had a good reason for wanting a text-based browser in their Terminal…

The point is to learn Perl 5 or Perl 6 (raku) and not be bogged down in hours of diversion trying to get a working Lynx or w3m on your Mac. Cut your losses… 😎
