Hi,

The installation of BioDynaMo on macOS 14.0 does not work and it gives an error about not finding ROOT.

The error:
CMake Error at cmake/external/ROOT.cmake:35 (download_verify_extract):
download_verify_extract Function invoked with incorrect arguments for
function named: download_verify_extract
Call Stack (most recent call first):
cmake/utils.cmake:94 (include)
CMakeLists.txt:307 (verify_ROOT)

CMake Error at /opt/homebrew/Cellar/cmake/3.27.8/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
Something went wrong with the installation. For more details check the log file: /var/folders/m3/h_y1grh16dsdxyfx_cc4dlxc0000gp/T/tmp.uHiTvYAhlT/biodynamo/installation.log

Before giving this error, it gives a warning that ROOT is not installed on the system:
We did not find any ROOT installed on the system. We will proceed to download it. ROOT will be installed in the location /var/folders/m3/h_y1grh16dsdxyfx_cc4dlxc0000gp/T/tmp.uHiTvYAhlT/biodynamo/build/third_party/root.

I used the following command to install BioDynaMo in my zsh shell: curl https://biodynamo.github.io/install | bash

The log is attached. installation.log

Many thanks
