I'm following https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/getting_started/
which requires make. When I run the install scripts, the prompt tells me to use make 4.1 . I run brew install erlang git homebrew/dupes/make
then brew unlink make && brew link make but which make is still /usr/bin and make -v is 3.8.
How do I link to the correct, updated make?
EDIT
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
is the first line of my ~/.bash_profile
You need to set your PATH so that /usr/local/bin is ahead of, i.e. before /usr/bin because homebrew puts its binaries in /usr/local/bin.
So, for a one-off command, you can run:
/usr/local/bin/make -v
but in general, you want to set your PATH in your $HOME/.profile or in $HOME/.bash_profile like this:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
In general, you will need to source your profile:
source ~/.profile
or log out and log back in again after changing it for it to take effect.

i tried using shortcuts. i wanted to run scripts there, but i constantly get an error that the brew utility was not found. it feels like the scripts run in isolation.
i tried use
brew link php
eval 'brew link php'
sh fileWithMyScript.sh
and always got error. how to fix it?
The brew command is not in macOS default PATH. You will either have to use the full path to the command or set PATH before calling the command:
/opt/homebrew/bin/brew link php
PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin brew link php
PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin cd ~/utils && sh php_8.1.sh
Use a different directory than /opt/homebrew/bin if homebrew is installed elsewhere.
For example, I'm trying to install pipenv using the following commands:
$ pip3 install --user pipenv
$ cd ~/Documents/myproject
$ pipenv install requests
zsh: command not found: pipenv
It seems that the issue can be resolved if I run sudo ln -s ~/.local/bin/pipenv /usr/bin. Is this a safe thing to do? I've also been having this issue with several other packages, like tensorboard and xflux. Is there something wrong with my system that makes it such that I need to manually create a symlink every time? How can I change things so that packages can install normally without me having to do this every time?
The problem you are having is that the tools you are installing are being installed in non-standard locations and are not being included in your PATH. One way to resolve this would be to include the paths in your PATH environment variable. In order for these programs to be in your path every time you login, do this (assuming you are using zsh as your shell):
1) Open ~/.zshrc using vim or any other editor:
vim ~/.zshrc
2) Append the following to this file:
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/dir/containing/pipenv
Remember to replace /path/to/dir/containing/pipenv with the appropriate path.
3) Source your ~/.zshrc so that the path is included in your current session:
source ~/.zshrc
4) Now everytime you login, the paths should be available in your environment and you won't need to create symlinks.
I just followed the installation guide for golang (ubuntu 16).
I extracted the archive at /etc/usr
I added env variable in /home/user/.profile
I just tested a basic go build on the hello world code.
I get the following error:
The program 'go' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt install golang-go
Why does it ask me to install it (again?)?
open the go documentation download
https://go.dev/dl/
choice your os and go version
download then extract the file
extract the file
open the file and open the terminal
6.Add /usr/local/go/bin to the PATH environment variable.
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
then check the go version
go version
The location of the binary go is not in your path. Ubuntu does not find it and suggests to install it. Add this line to your file /etc/profile, or better $HOME/.profile:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
This is documented in the docs: https://golang.org/doc/install#install
If you want to try this solution before editing any files, you can just execute the above command and try to execute the go command in the shell.
There are paths which needs to be set correctly for you go installation to work
GOROOT points to directory where go is installed
export GOROOT=/usr/lib/go
GOPATH points to you workspace directory
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
These paths need to be added in global path variable.
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
You need to put the go executable in your system path. which you can do by
export PATH=$PATH:/etc/usr/go/bin
You can put the same in /home/user/.profile
just use asdf for installation. You can have several version also :D

downlaod the installer form enter link description here, choose intaller for linux that suit your device and then you go to your CLI and use wget or curl :
$ wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1...
and then extract the file to /usr/local :
$ tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1...
add path binary Go to PATH environment variable :
$ echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc
and then use go version to check if the Go already installed
If You are using linux then open your terminal and run this command.
sudo apt install golang-go
This command will Install Go lang. in your system. ThankYou
Steps for Go installation:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade
wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.17.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -xvf go1.17.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz

export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
Add in .bashrc
vi .bashrc
export GOPATH="/root/go"
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$GOROOT/bin:$PATH
Download latest version from https://golang.org/doc/install
tar -xzf go1.15.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz
move to /usr/lib/ to folder with version number
sudo mv go /usr/lib/go-1.15
create symkink link on /usr/bin/
ln -s /usr/lib/go-1.15/bin/go /usr/bin/go
I installed macvim using homebrew on my Mackbook Pro (lion). once that was installed I installed janus. I also installed oh-my-zsh (if that helps solve this problem).
I can't seem to get ctags working though. In MacVim when I do Tools>Build Tags File I get:
:!ctags -R .
ctags: illegal option -- R
usage: ctags [-BFadtuwvx] [-f tagsfile] file ...
shell returned 1
Press RETURN or type command to continue
How do I get it to work?
Here's some additional info that may help you:

It definitely looks like Vim is picking up /usr/bin/ctags, which doesn't recognize -R, instead of /usr/local/bin/ctags. This can happen if put /usr/local/bin in your path only for login shells.
You might want to make sure /usr/local/bin gets added to your path in the non-login, non-interactive environment file. I don't use zsh myself, but it looks like that would be .zshenv.
On a mac, by default the path that vim uses and the path that the terminal (bash/zsh) uses are different, so even if you have the correct path set in the terminal, it won't translate to vim correctly, to rectify this situation, you need to run
sudo chmod ugo-x /usr/libexec/path_helper

I have MacVim installed and I am trying to set it up as the editor for Git (version control), but I can't run 'mvim' from the command line as it isn't recognised. How do I setup mvim so I can run it from Terminal?
I don't think I'd to add anything to the path, did
brew install macvim
mvim -v
should then open macvim in the terminal, you can also go ahead and alias that
alias vim='mvim -v'
There should be a script named mvim in the root of the .bz2 file. Copy this somewhere into your $PATH ( /usr/local/bin would be good ) and you should be sorted.
If you go the brew route, the best way to install would be:
brew install macvim --with-override-system-vim
That will provide mvim, vim, vi, view, etc. in /usr/local/bin (all symlinked to the copy in the Cellar). This also removes the need to create any aliases and also changes your vi, vim, etc. to all use the same Vim distribution as your MacVim.
In addition, if you want to use MacVim (or GVim) as $VISUAL or $EDITOR, you should be aware that by default MacVim will fork a new process from the parent, resulting in the MacVim return value not reaching the parent process. This may confuse other applications, but Git seems to check the status of a temporary commit message file, which bypasses this limitation. In general, it is a good practice to export VISUAL='mvim -f' to ensure MacVim will not fork a new process when called, which should give you what you want when using it with your shell environment.
If you already have macVim installed: /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim -g will give you macVim GUI.
just add an alias.
i use gvim because that is what i use on linux for gnome-vim.
alias gvim='/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim -g'
Assume MacVim is installed in the Application folder.
Instead of adding MacVim path to your environment, create a link by typing this in terminal:
sudo ln -s /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/bin/mvim /usr/local/bin/mvim
Then, open a new terminal window/tab and type mvim.
If you have homeBrew installed, this is all you have to do:
brew install macvim
brew linkapps
Then type mvim in your terminal to run MacVim.
Here's what I did:
After building Macvim I copied mvim to one of my $PATH destinations (In this case I chose /usr/local/bin)
cp -v [MacVim_source_folder]/src/MacVim/mvim /usr/local/bin
Then when you invoke mvim it is now recognised but there is an annoying thing. It opens the visual MacVim window, not the one in terminal. To do that, you have to invoke
mvim -v
To make sure every time you call mvim you don't have to remember to add the '-v' you can create an alias:
alias mvim='mvim -v'
However, this alias will only persist for this session of the Terminal. To have this alias executed every time you open a Terminal window, you have to include it in your .profile
The .profile should be in your home directory. If it's not, create it.
cd ~
mvim -v .profile
include the alias command in there and save it.
That's it.
I'm adding Bard Park's comment here for that was the real answer for me:
Since mvim is simply a shell script, you can download it directly from the MacVim source at GitHub here: http://raw.github.com/b4winckler/macvim/master/src/MacVim/mvim
I'd seriously recommend installing MacVim via MacPorts (sudo port install MacVim).
When installed, MacPorts automatically updates your profile to include /opt/local/bin in your path, and so when mvim is installed as /opt/local/bin/mvim during the install of MacVim you'll find it ready to use straight away.
When you install the MacVim port the MacVim.app bundle is installed in /Applications/MacPorts for you too.
A good thing about going the MacPorts route is that you'll also be able to install git too (sudo port install git-core) and many many other ports. Highly recommended.
This works for me:
λ brew link --overwrite macvim
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.0-146_1... 12 symlinks created
For Mac .app bundles, you should install them via cask, if available, as using symlinks can cause issues. You may even get the following warning if you brew linkapps:
Unfortunately brew linkapps cannot behave nicely with e.g. Spotlight using
either aliases or symlinks and Homebrew formulae do not build "proper" .app
bundles that can be relocated. Instead, please consider using brew cask and
migrate formulae using .apps to casks.
For MacVim, you can install with:
brew cask install macvim
You should then be able to launch MacVim like you do any other macOS app, including mvim or open -a MacVim from a terminal session.
UPDATE: A bit of clarification about brew and brew cask. In a nutshell, brew handles software at the unix level, whereas brew cask extends the functionality of brew into the macOS domain for additional functionality such as handling the location of macOS app bundles. Remember that brew is also implemented on Linux so it makes sense to have this division. There are other resources that explain the difference in more detail, such as What is the difference between brew and brew cask?
so I won't say much more here.
