"Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, helm-occur"

[Name of Mine]

Im on OS >10- Emacs version: 26.3.
Last helm-ag version.

I just installed the package and when I M-x helm-ag I get:

Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, helm-occur

Thanks,

I cannot reproduce this issue. Did you install helm package ? If you use so old helm packages, Please upgrade it and retry.

1. I uninstalled helm-ag
2. I uninstalled helm and helm-core, which were quite old, and reinstalled.
3. I reinstalled helm-ag
4. I restarted Emacs

M-x helm-ag gives me now this error:

Searching for program: no such file or directory, ag

Questions:

1. Shall I add anything to my init file?
2. In the instructions it says:

Requirements
Emacs 24 or higher
helm 1.7.7 or higher
The Silver Searcher 0.29.0 or higher.

Is The Silver Searcher something I must install separately?
Thanks!

No if you install helm-ag by package manager.

Is The Silver Searcher something I must install separately?

Yes, please install it. helm-ag also supports ripgrep if you want to use ripgrep please read documentation(https://github.com/emacsorphanage/helm-ag#ripgrep)

Thanks, that was pretty silly of me, not having the package AG installed (in all honesty, I did not know the package myself, so couldn't connect the dots that AG refered to The Silver Searcher. Thanks for the understanding! Now it works :)

Yes, I also use helm-rg, and I have wondered what is the difference between them in terms of features. But I suppose this is not the place to ask.
