 Homebrew won't add any of the tools to your `$PATH`. That's okay; the build script knows how to find them.

+If you are working CPython in a [Codespaces instance](https://devguide.python.org/getting-started/setup-building/#using-codespaces), there's no need to install LLVM as the Fedora 40 base image includes LLVM 18 out of the box.
