Install problem: fatal error: 'ufc.h' file not found

installation

I’m attempting to install FEniCS on a newer Mac machine within a conda env. It seems I first need to install dolfin. I believe I have all the dependencies required. However, I keep getting this error:

build$ make install

I have tried reading forums about this error but cannot resolve the issue. Any advice? Thanks.

Please post all commands you have used in your conda env. Note that dolfin is on conda (2019.1.0): Fenics Dolfin :: Anaconda.org

Thanks for your reply! I did not know dolfin was on conda, but apparently conda cannot find the package:
