Instructions out of date and trouble installing on m1max MacBook Pro

[methnen]

First brew seems to have changed things around a bit.

brew cask install blank-screensaver

Should be:

brew install --cask blank-screensaver

I'm also getting an error when trying to install it:

Error: Failure while executing; `xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Users/XXX/Library/Screen\ Savers/Blank.saver` exited with 1. Here's the output:
xattr: /Users/XXX/Library/Screen Savers/Blank.saver: No such xattr: com.apple.quarantine

I have no m1 Mac to test on but I can't recreate the issue you describe with my slow Intel machine running Monterey. Could it be a bug within brew If you update brew and try to reinstall the screensaver - does it work then?

It stopped working on my M2. I am using https://intelliscapesolutions.com/screensavers/blankscreen instead.
