Installation

[iridakos]

Figure out and provide a handy installation process.

lol, i clicked on the link from the README to land up in this issue page, expecting to find a major roadblock e.g. permissions issue in installation

why not just brew install stup or something?

nvm, doesn't work on zsh/macos:

find: -printf: unknown primary or operator
find: -printf: unknown primary or operator
date: illegal option -- -
usage: date [-jnRu] [-d dst] [-r seconds] [-t west] [-v[+|-]val[ymwdHMS]] ...
            [-f fmt date | [[[mm]dd]HH]MM[[cc]yy][.ss]] [+format]```

not going to bother using then

Hi @evandrix and thank you for the feedback. I have only tested it in bash but I will open an issue for making it work with zsh.

Unclear what the proper way to resolve this is, but it's probably just different date libraries on linux vs unix. OSX has coreutils as an option, but it'd have to be linked since it installs as gdate

EDIT: Meh, this works - unclear if there are better ways - certainly seems like it's been a recurring issue for years though, so there has to be something standard. https://github.com/haganbmj/stup/commit/3e66dbb5bb59b67abc8edf27bbcedbebcdde207d

@haganbmj Thanks for the workaround! Unfortunately I can't test it in OSX. Did it work?
