Error using "pip install wrf-python"

Hi! I want to install wrf-python package on macOS without installing conda on my device. I tried using pip install wrf-python, and it gives the following error:

Installing build dependencies ... done
Getting requirements to build wheel ... error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

I think I was able to install it using homebrew, let me know if you are unable to do it this way
