+.. note:: Mac builds and EPANETMSX

+   The builds of EPANETMSX for Mac require the OpenMP package be installed. This is easiest to do using
+   homebrew. A brew recipe is provided with WNTR that will obtain the appropriate libraries. To use it,
+   download the https://github.com/USEPA/WNTR/tree/main/wntr/epanet/libepanet/darwin-formula/libomp.rb 
+   formula directly and brew it, or use the command below.
