Are you running on Linux? The skip command currently only works on macOS.

Hah, I accidentally installed onto my VM server from GCP. Now I'm installing to my mac, but still got another error.

That's odd. If you do ls -la /opt/homebrew/bin/skip, what do you see? And if you try to manually remove skip (with brew delete skiptools/skip/skip, is that file still there? If so, and if you manually delete it and then run brew install skiptools/skip/skip again, does it work?

Good day, Marc!

I got message that there's no skip cask installed. Here you can see the screenshot from console:

That's exactly where it should be. What does skip version when you try to run it?

It's giving an error: zsh: command not found: skip

What if you run it directly from the installed location? /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/skip/1.1.3/skip.artifactbundle/macos/skip version?

If that still isn't found, can you let me know if there is anything at all in the /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/skip/1.1.3/ directory?

Still got an error. Here I attached screenshot.

Are other homebrew packages working? E.g., if you run brew install tree and then tree ~/Downloads/, does the command run?

Is there anything in /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/? I'm guessing that you might need to re-install Homebrew – I've never seen a problem like this before.

definitely, you can see the results.

What terminal program is this? Is it possible that it is running under Rosetta Intel emulation?

Sep 27 '24 21:09 marcprux

Default terminal of macOS.

I administer sharded VMs across multiple countries and have great experience in server distro linuxes, but not in macOS. Hence I need your help there, is there any way without emulations?

Hi @marcprux,

Is there anything you can help regarding this issue?

I think there may be something wrong with your Homebrew installation. Can you try re-installing by removing it per https://docs.brew.sh/FAQ#how-do-i-uninstall-homebrew and then installing again (https://github.com/homebrew/install), and then re-installing brew install skiptools/skip/skip?
