How do you install this on OS X?

[octos]

Instructions are welcome :)

[jart]

I'm honestly not sure. I wrote it on Linux. If you could provide assistance making it more mac friendly, it'd be greatly appreciated.

[saitoha]

@octos I write a Homebrew Formula. Please try:

$ brew install --HEAD https://gist.githubusercontent.com/saitoha/08175fc1e82906966256/raw/e5c6795ff4619661b5a1e335ddaafd09cb3959fa/hiptext.rb

[jart]

That's awesome! I'll check it out next week and probably do some more dev work on hiptext.

[WangElectronics]

I didn't get that Homebrew Formula to work. Getting this error.

This worked for me. Quoting out these three lines from hiptext.cc with //'s

[tcyrus]

Forked Formula to add Commenting out 3 lines from hiptext.cc to the patch. Please try:

brew install --HEAD https://gist.githubusercontent.com/tcyrus/b984bd04a9852cf2d1ee/raw/a05caaee284775d7dfd62d5d09b169f68890b22e/hiptext.rb

Tried @tcyrus formula and got the following brew error:

FWIW I have a working formula:

brew install bfontaine/utils/hiptext

Same here.

@WangElectronics try using gdate within homebrew

@WangElectronics try using gdate within homebrew

Tried to run brew install gdate but to no avail.

Error: No formulae found in taps.

[bfontaine]

gdate is installed with brew install coreutils. However I can’t reproduce –with or without coreutils–, so I can’t help you:

Manage to build it now but it gives me

Author here. One thing that's worth mentioning is we now have more modern alternatives to hiptext:

• https://justine.lol/printvideo.html
• https://justine.lol/printimage.html

* https://justine.lol/printimage.html

Oh, how do I run these in MacOS-terminal?

[bfontaine]

You can do something like this:

curl -o printvideo https://justine.lol/printvideo.com
chmod u+x printvideo

curl -o printimage https://justine.lol/printimage.com
chmod u+x printimage

Then:

./printvideo ...

./printimage ...

[WangElectronics]

I just get zsh: exec format error: ./printvideo

[WangElectronics]

Changed to bash and it works! ⭕

[jart]

Zsh is a KI. Last month I upstreamed a patch addressing the issue. If you build the revision then you won't need bash! https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh/commit/326d9c203b3980c0f841bc62b06e37134c6e51ea

[mTvare6]

@WangElectronics or else you can run chafa
