It seems to be this issue: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/723367?answerId=743270022#743270022
So the packaging probably needs to be updated for MacOS.

For the time being, the way to install MOOSE on MacOS is to build from source:

git clone --depth 3 https://github.com/subhacom/moose-core.git@fix495merge
# or for master branch, which may be a bit out of date
# git clone --depth 3 https://github.com/BhallaLab/moose-core.git
cd moose-core
pip install .

Please see INSTALL.md for the requirements (xcode, gsl, HDF5 etc)
