Installing somef via pip - cmake is missing -

I've tried to install somef with pip (pip install somef) and got the following error related to cmake. I'm using macOS in a new environment:

ERROR: Failed building wheel for xgboost

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.**

Once I installed cmake (brew install cmake), I was able to install and use somef successfully.
