While trying to run style50 on a ARM with macOS in virtual environment of python 3.13 I've received this error:

style50 degrees.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: failed to find libmagic.  Check your installation

I've tried to reinstall libmagic and style50, but still it does not work

Same error here, but I installed libmagic with brew install libmagic, and it works!

tldr: brew install libmagic works
I'm avoiding install libraries with homebrew, so I tried install/uninstall libmagic and python-magic many times with pip3, same error every time

Same issue on Debian. Solved:

apt-get install libmagic1
