Installed Berkeley DB but have no idea how to use the --berkeley-db=/path/to/bsddb option

Figured it out.

Apparently you can also use the BERKELEY_DB environment variable.

But I ran into another error:

ERROR: Trying to use the Berkeley DB you specified...
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/private/var/folders/tm/x76_y5t15vgcw9mycdc4cshc0000gn/T/pip-install-tajo11ks/bsddb3/setup.py", line 42, in <module>

        db_ver = (int(fullverstr[0]), int(fullverstr[2]))
    ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '.'

Well, apparently the python lib breaks on versions 10 or higher (if major version has 2 characters).

So I ran brew uninstall berkeley-db.

Then brew install berkeley-db@4. This installs version 4, which prevented pip from choking.

To set the environment variable I put:

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/berkeley-db@4/bin:$PATH"

in my zshrc.
