macOS: problem installing from Homebrew cask / M1 Mac Mini?

[luckman212]

Wanted to try this out so I followed the install instructions, but it's failing. Seems to be related to wiretrustee dependency.

macOS 12.5 / M1 Mac Mini.

Hello @luckman212 the issue is caused because you had wiretrustee installed and brew doesn't handle well conflicts.

To solve the issue you can run:

brew uninstall wiretrustee
brew install --cask netbird-ui

[luckman212]

Thanks, but not sure that's correct...

$ brew uninstall wiretrustee
Error: No available formula with the name "wiretrustee". Did you mean wiredtiger?

$ brew info wiretrustee
Error: No available formula with the name "wiretrustee". Did you mean wiredtiger?
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...

$ brew search wiretrustee
==> Formulae
wiredtiger

Thanks for reporting back. This is a bit odd, as locally (Homebrew 3.5.7), it gives a similar warning, but doesn't try to search the package and the installation continues. Could you please share your brew version?

It might help if you add the wiretrustee tap just for the sake of installation:

brew tap wiretrustee/client
brew tap netbirdio/tap
brew install --cask netbird-ui

if you see some errors similar to the ones below:

"launchctl" failed with stderr: /Library/LaunchDaemons/netbird.plist: service already loaded

It means that netbird was already installed from previous attempt

[luckman212]

Sure

Thank you @luckman212

I tested here with the same version, but I wasn't able to reproduce it, see output below:

For instance, do you have any custom brew configuration in an environment variable or similar?

Also, were you able to install following the previous steps?

[luckman212]

I think the problem seems to be my cask repo isn't updated since 7-14-2022. Need to troubleshoot what's going on there...

[luckman212]

Well I fixed that out of date cask repo with brew update-reset but I still can't install this. Here's my brew config... I don't think it's too out of the ordinary...

I figured out the issue (partially at least). I had Homebrew developer mode enabled.

Running the command below:

$ brew developer off

...and removing the following 2 lines from my .bashrc

export HOMEBREW_DEVELOPER=1;
export HOMEBREW_INSTALL_FROM_API=1;

Has solved the issue for me. Not sure why that causes the install to fail, but...
