Update instructions for new macOS guidance and drop source install for now

Open dannycjones opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

In summary, this PR reworks the installation instructions in two ways.

Firstly, it drops the installation from source instructions, with the intention to add an updated version back once working. As #696 mentions, go install should be used instead of go get now. In terms of getting go install working, I'm seeing the same issues as #527, #664.

Secondly, it updates the instructions now that goofys is not available from Homebrew. This is due to a licensing change on the FUSE library used on macOS. Addresses #628.

Note, this does overlap with #618, #668, #687 but they do not address that goofys can no longer be installed via Homebrew (see Homebrew/homebrew-core#64491).

(closes #618, #668, #687)

Looks good, thanks Danny.

If #680 is merged before this, I think we can re-introduce the building from source options subject to testing.

Closing. Change is outdated and Homebrew is no longer a supported method for install FUSE dependent connectors on macOS.
