[tor-relays] Continuing To Run A Relay On Mac OS High Sierra Via Homebrew After A New Mac OS Version Is Released

[Keifer Bly]

Ok. So I removed Mac OS and installed Linux, and after an entire day of
trying everything, Linux crashed when I tried to load it no matter what I
did. I am now going to try installing Windows 10 on it, is there a way to
run a relay on Windows 10? Thanks.
