This is the procedure for installing anyenv on Mac. I encountered a few issues, so here are my notes.

Installation

In my environment, I have various things placed in /usr/local/bin/, so I will install anyenv there.

cd /usr/local/bin
git clone https://github.com/riywo/anyenv

Setting the Path

export PATH="/usr/local/bin/anyenv/bin:$PATH"
export ANYENV_ROOT=/usr/local/bin/anyenv
eval "$(anyenv init -)"

It seems that anyenv is designed to be installed directly under the root directory, so if you don't specify ANYENV_ROOT to a specific directory, the anyenv command won't execute correctly. Also, if you forget to write eval "$(anyenv init -)", you may encounter issues where the commands of the installed packages cannot be executed, so be sure not to forget this.
