Any plan to put it on HomeBrew?

[Gustavo Marin]

I'd like that. But I don't have a mac and never used brew before, so I'd be hard to test it for me.

I'll check how it is done and try to do it. Of course, this is open for PRs too.

@lsanotes I've added a "Brew Tap" to the GoReleaser script. But I don't have brew to test it.

You can help with it by adding a comment (or PR!) with the steps to do it. Report it here or in #14, that is created specifically for installations.

Thanks!

It's not in the core, you need to add the tap. Try this:

brew tap guumaster/hostctl https://github.com/guumaster/hostctl

Then you can brew install hostctl

UPDATE: no need to add it anymore. Do this:

brew install guumaster/tap/hostctl

[Pavlo M.]

brew tap works

[lethargosapatheia]

It doesn't seem to work (anymore?). Has anything changed? I added the tap and tried installing hostctl, but it still says that it cannot find the formula. Any suggestions?

[Gustavo Marin]

@lethargosapatheia this doesn't work anymore:

brew tap guumaster/hostctl https://github.com/guumaster/hostctl

Do it like this:

brew install guumaster/tap/hostctl

No need to add the tap first.

[lethargosapatheia]

Ah, I see! Thanks a lot. And great work, it's a really helpful tool, the need had been there for a long time!
I am going to dare suggest adding the brew information on the main documentation, so that other mac users know :)

[Gustavo Marin]

It is documented brew installation

Please if you think there is something missing, create a new guide following this tips

[lethargosapatheia]

Nothing is missing, I just didn't see it, haven't searched thoroughly enough. Thank you! :)
