Oh well that is a fun issue... i'll have to look into the install scripts from turso to see if there is a easy way (if its always formatted the same) to pull that command and run it within our CLI...
This issue is related to how you usually need to reload a terminal session to activate new commands which the following section of the log explains
Installing to /Users/marc/.turso
Updating profile /Users/marc/.zshrc
Turso will be available when you open a new terminal.
If you want to make Turso available in this terminal, please run:
source /Users/marc/.zshrc
Turso CLI installed!
so is this a ZSH-specific bug?
No, This is a "need to restart shell session" or "force update the source binary lists" issue...
Basically when you install new bin files (programs) some require full restart of the terminal or for manual update (some make it easier by doing this for you).
Basically what we will need to do is IF the user is installing Turso CLI, then we wait for the response above, and parse the result so that we can run the command internally that TursoCLI is asking for us to run so we can utilize the CLI right away, instead of the process exiting and failing due to "missing turso command"
