Help Building Brave on macOS

Hi,

I’d like to be able to contribute to Brave, but can’t even get it to build. I’ve followed the instructions for the build environment, but I’m getting an error on the npm run build command. Here is the error:

ERROR at //v8/gni/snapshot_toolchain.gni:107:1: Assertion failed.
assert(v8_snapshot_toolchain != "",
^-----
Do not know how to build a snapshot for //build/toolchain/mac:clang_x64 on mac x64
See //BUILD.gn:31:1: whence it was imported.
import("//v8/gni/snapshot_toolchain.gni")

I’ve been struggling with this for a few days now and I have no idea what the error could be. Anyone able to lend some assistance?
