I tried to install Apache Ant on my Mac and I followed the next steps :
I downloaded apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz into my Downloads folder.
I moved the file to /usr/local/ using this commands : sudo sh and mv apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz /usr/local/
Now I want to use cd /usr/local/ but it's not working, I get back "No such file or directory".
Then I used cd /usr/ and ls commands and it seems that the local folder is there. If I try to access it I get the same error.
Since I already used sudo su why I can't access it? Any ideas?
Ant is already installed on some older versions of Mac OS X, so you should run ant -version to test if it is installed before attempting to install it.
If it is not already installed, then your best bet is to install Homebrew (brew install ant) or MacPorts (sudo port install apache-ant), and use those tools to install Apache Ant.
Alternatively, though I would highly advise using Homebrew or MacPorts instead, you can install Apache Ant manually. To do so, you would need to:
Decompress the .tar.gz file.
Optionally put it somewhere.
Put the "bin" subdirectory in your path.
The commands that you would need, assuming apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz (replace 1.8.1 with the actual version) were still in your Downloads directory, would be the following (explanatory comments included):
cd ~/Downloads # Let's get into your downloads folder.
tar -xvzf apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz # Extract the folder
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local # Ensure that /usr/local exists
sudo cp -rf apache-ant-1.8.1-bin /usr/local/apache-ant # Copy it into /usr/local
# Add the new version of Ant to current terminal session
export PATH=/usr/local/apache-ant/bin:"$PATH"
# Add the new version of Ant to future terminal sessions
echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/apache-ant/bin:"$PATH"' >> ~/.profile
# Verify new version of ant
ant -version
For MacOS Maveriks (10.9 and perhaps later versions too), Apache Ant does not come bundled with the operating system and so must be installed manually. You can use brew to easily install ant. Simply execute the following command in a terminal window to install brew:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
It's a medium sized download which took me 10min to download and install. Just follow the process which involves installing various components. If you already have brew installed, make sure it's up to date by executing:
brew update
Once installed you can simply type:
brew install ant
Ant is now installed and available through the "ant" command in the terminal.
To test the installation, just type "ant -version" into a terminal window. You should get the following output:
Apache Ant(TM) version X.X.X compiled on MONTH DAY YEAR
Source: Error executing command 'ant' on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks when building for Android with PhoneGap/Cordova
If you are getting errors installing Brew, try uninstalling first using the command:
rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup
Thanks to OrangeDog and other users for providing additional information.
If you have MacPorts installed (https://www.macports.org/), do this:
sudo port install apache-ant
If you're a homebrew user instead of macports, homebrew has an ant recipe.
brew install ant
To get Ant running on your Mac in 5 minutes, follow these steps.
Open up your terminal.
Perform these commands in order:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install ant
If you don't have Java installed yet, you will get the following error: "Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build."
Run this command next: brew cask install java to fix this.
The installation will resume.
Check your version of by running this command:
ant -version
And you're ready to go!
Use Brew is always good way to install ANT and other needs.
To install type below command on terminal.
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
after Brew installation , type
brew install ant
This will install Ant on your system. Also you will not need to worry about setting up the path.
Also i have documented on the same - How to Install ANT on Mac OS?
The only way i could get my ant version updated on the mac from 1.8.2 to 1.9.1 was by following instructions here
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Ant/User_Guide
MacPorts will install ant for you in MacOSX 10.9. Just use
$ sudo port install apache-ant
and it will install.

I use the latest Apple M1 chip processor. And I keep getting errors while application installation.
say.,
brew install openjdk#11
Error: Cannot install in Homebrew on ARM processor in Intel default prefix (/usr/local)!
Please create a new installation in /opt/homebrew using one of the
"Alternative Installs" from:
https://docs.brew.sh/Installation
You can migrate your previously installed formula list with:
brew bundle dump
Need help with exact steps to follow.
For what it's worth, before installing Homebrew you will need to install Rosetta2 emulator for the new ARM silicon (M1 chip). I just installed Rosetta2 via terminal using:
/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
This will install rosetta2 with no extra button clicks.
After installing Rosetta2 above you can then use the Homebrew cmd and install Homebrew for ARM M1 chip: arch -x86_64 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Once Homebrew for M1 ARM is installed use this Homebrew command to install packages: arch -x86_64 brew install <package>
Homebrew needs to be installed in two places on Apple silicon: in /usr/local for rosetta-emulated (Intel) code, and /opt/homebrew for ARM64. These are somewhat hard-coded and the /opt/homebrew one MUST be used for ARM code, as it stands today, and is non-negotiable. However, it's easy enough to install and you can follow the general instructions on the official docs. You open a Rosetta shell first.
% arch -x86_64 zsh
% cd /usr/local && mkdir homebrew
% curl -L https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1 -C homebrew
Later, to install tools under intel you can use the arch command per-command or open a zsh terminal as above.
arch -x86_64 /usr/local/homebrew/bin/brew install sometool
For the ARM architecture, you don't need to use arch but you do need to use the full path of the homebrew command.
/opt/homebrew/bin/brew install sometool
You could rename the brew commands to something like brew86 and brewARM to help keep them separate.
Run this in the terminal it fixes the issue
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
Just use:
arch -arm64 brew install package-name
replace 'package-name' with the package you want to install.
Did a temporary fix by enabling Open using Rosetta option in the terminal app from Utilities folder.
However, it would be great to know the actual solution for this question to use the native way.
There is a lot of helpful info in the replies here, but there doesn't seem to be a direct answer to the original request, "Need help with exact steps to follow."
In case it may help people facing this issue in the future, I'll share the exact steps that I followed to resolve the issue.
The following CLI commands are intended to be run on an Apple silicon-equipped Mac in the built-in Terminal application running the macOS-default shell, Zsh:
Run a Homebrew command to confirm that an error like the following appears:
$ brew install <formula>
Error: Cannot install in Homebrew on ARM processor in Intel default prefix (/usr/local)!
Please create a new installation in /opt/homebrew using one of the
"Alternative Installs" from:
https://docs.brew.sh/Installation
Or:
$ brew doctor
Warning: Your Homebrew's prefix is not /opt/homebrew.
Some of Homebrew's bottles (binary packages) can only be used with the default
prefix (/opt/homebrew).
You will encounter build failures with some formulae.
If either of these errors appears, it is likely that the steps below are applicable to your case.
Navigate to the /opt folder:
$ cd /opt
Create a folder named homebrew. By default superuser privileges are required to write inside of the /opt folder, which means that it is necessary to use sudo:
$ sudo mkdir homebrew
Grant write access to the homebrew folder so that your user can perform the Homebrew installation:
$ sudo chmod go+w homebrew
Perform the four steps listed on the "Alternative Installs" page (the page mentioned in the first error message in step 1):
Install Homebrew:
$ curl -L https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1 -C homebrew
Set Homebrew's prefix in your current Terminal session:
$ eval "$(homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
Update Homebrew:
$ brew update --force --quiet
Revoke write access to specific folders and files:
$ chmod -R go-w "$(brew --prefix)/share/zsh"
Set Homebrew's prefix in future Terminal sessions by adding the necessary command to one of Zsh's startup files. As far as I can tell, .zshrc is the preferred startup file for this type of command:
$ echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> ~/.zshrc
Note that if there are any other existing Terminal sessions on your machine that have been open since before running the above command, the correct Homebrew prefix will still be unset in those sessions.
Confirm that Homebrew's prefix is now properly set:
$ type -a brew
brew is /opt/homebrew/bin/brew
brew is /usr/local/bin/brew
Or:
$ brew doctor
Your system is ready to brew.
It should now be possible to continue using Homebrew normally.
This issue with new macbook pro M1 chip
Error: Cannot install in Homebrew on ARM processor in Intel default prefix (/usr/local)!
For Resolve follow below steps
Step1
$ brew bundle dump
Step2
$ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Step3
Edit file below
$ vi ~/.bashrc or vi ~/.zshrc
Edit below line in above file
export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH
Homebrew is now available for the new apple M1 chip at https://docs.brew.sh/Installation. The script installs in a new location, ‘/opt/homebrew’ instead of ‘/usr/local’ which requires that you implement a couple lines of script after the install, substituting your username. You can copy/paste from the comments in your install. Just don’t skip these steps.
==> Next steps:
- Add Homebrew to your PATH in /Users/[username]/.zprofile:
echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew [username])"' >> /Users/[username]/.zprofile
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew [username])"
Note: This works for a clean install of Homebrew on a new machine. If you have already installed an old version of Homebrew and got it working, I believe you need to uninstall that first -or- you may find this a quicker work-around http://blog.wafrat.com/homebrew-on-mac-with-m1/. Not tested.
See: https://docs.brew.sh/Installation
1. Clone homebrew
$ cd /opt
$ sudo git clone https://github.com/Homebrew/brew homebrew
2. Chown dir
$ sudo chown -R $(whoami):staff /opt/homebrew
3. Update new brew shellenv temporarily, more shellenv meaning see man brew
$ eval "$(homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
4. New brew update
$ brew update --force --quiet

This also may occur if you are trying to run your command in IntelliJ Terminal. Just try to run in (Regular) Terminal.
First run this command:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
then it will ask you a question, hit return, then wait for the installation to be completed. After than run this command:
brew bundle dump
Go over to https://brew.sh and use the command. It will download and install brew again correctly.
Run this command as this will resolve the issue
arch -arm64 brew install kotlin
I had installed Homebrew using iTerm enabled for the Apple ARM chip (M1), but when using a different terminal program that was Intel-based (and thus opening in Rosetta) I got this error. The latter app is seen as Intel, and thus wants to use the older Homebrew path.
Probably this error is related running brew on M1/M2 Mac instead instead of Intel based Mac, atleast that was in my case. I had previously restored a Time Machine backup from Intel to M2.
According to the Homebrew documentation, the default installation script installs Homebrew to its preferred /usr/localfor macOS Intel and /opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon.
You can well use this, as it worked well for me-
re-install brew by running this in your terminal /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
run brew bundle dump
You should be good on using brew
So I bought a new M1 and migrated to it. I took it back and migrated back. I was receiving this error. Found that I needed to run sudo rm -Rf /opt/homebrew after re-installing brew to get things flowing again. 16G Ram on the M1 didn't replace my workflow with Intel using 64G.
I'm trying to install PhantomJS on my Mac (Yosemite).
I did the following:
npm install phantomjs
Then I did:
npm install phantomjs-prebuilt
Both of which appear in my node_modules. But when I try to run phantomjs --versionI get
-bash: phantomjs: command not found
Also tried installing the binary from the downloads website, but nothing. What am I missing? End goal is to use casperjs but currently casper is asking
Fatal: [Errno 2] No such file or directory; did you install phantomjs?
I thought I did....?
If you are using Homebrew, you can type:
brew tap homebrew/cask
brew cask install phantomjs
Download phantomjs latest version (ex: phantomjs-2.1.1-macosx.zip) from http://phantomjs.org/download.html
Extract it to some path(ex: ~/Desktop/phantomjs-2.1.1-macosx)
Run this command on terminal -
sudo ln -n ~/Desktop/phantomjs-2.1.1-macosx/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/
Launch phantomjs from the terminal by command: phantomjs
Check phantomjs version by command: phantomjs -v
Check the phantomjs path by command: which phantomjs
The accepted answer is outdated. On Mac, using Homebrew, type:
brew tap homebrew/cask
brew cask install phantomjs
The first step may not be necessary for some MacOS versions.
For newer versions of cask (2021 and later), use
brew install --cask phantomjs
You need to add phantomjs binary to your PATH. You can do this either by modifying the environment variable or by symlinking the binary to for example /usr/local/bin
For example, if you want to symlink the binary:
cd $HOME
curl -O https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.1.1-macosx.zip
ln -s $HOME/phantomjs-2.1.1-macosx/bin/phantomjs /usr/bin/phantomjs
or if you want to modify the PATH environment variable:
cd $HOME
curl -O https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.1.1-macosx.zip
and add this line to this file: ~/.bash_profile:
export PATH=$HOME/phantomjs-2.1.1-macosx/bin:$PATH
and then run:
source ~/.bash_profile
Shouldn't you be installing phantomjs globally?
npm install -g phantomjs
Since you are installing it locally, the command -
phantomjs -v
would not work everywhere.
You can check the difference between local install and global install here: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install
After a lot of digging I found that on on High-Sierra old versions of phantomjs (<2.0) would not work.
Also, the zip file via the phantomjs download page is a faulty one.
If you need a new phantom, just go to this page and download phantomjs 2.1.1 (or later).
for Mac BigSur
brew tap homebrew/cask
brew install --cask phantomjs
I want create an automated script to use on a post installation.
For this reason i want use brew and cask to make it all.
So, i think that my script should start with that to install brew:
echo << "Installing homebrew..."
if test ! $(which brew); then
echo "Homebrew not found, Installing..."
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
fi
Then i need to install some useful stuff as i see here:
http://lapwinglabs.com/blog/hacker-guide-to-setting-up-your-mac
So i put this too on my script:
# Install GNU core utilities (those that come with OS X are outdated)
brew install coreutils
# Install GNU `find`, `locate`, `updatedb`, and `xargs`, g-prefixed
brew install findutils
# Install Bash 4
brew install bash
# Install more recent versions of some OS X tools
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew install homebrew/dupes/grep
$PATH=$(brew --prefix coreutils)/libexec/gnubin:$PATH
After that, the guide on the link says to install all the apps with cask and clean.
Here is my question.
I wish install and can update them in future using the classical Application folder of mac
How i can do that?
Maybe i should put this line:
export HOMEBREW_CASK_OPTS="--appdir=/Applications --caskroom=/usr/local/Caskroom"
Before all the commands to install the apps? May it works? (I have found this line here around)
If this line is correct can I update my apps using a brew/cask command?
Sorry for the dumbs questions, I've just discovered brew and cask yesterday :)
Any suggestion or example for this script is well accepted :)
brew cask install <formula> is supposed to symlink your app in Applications automatically.
I tried to install GNU Octave on my Mac using Fink by this instruction
http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_MacOS_X
I think I have followed all the instructions but I can't run Octave.
How can I check if it is installed correctly?
I tried typing 'octave' in the terminal but it says 'command not found'
Or, is there any easy instruction for Octave installation?
I've found many install guides but they are all different and assumes some knowledge.
Incidentally, I have installed Octave GNU today twice on two different machines (both running Lion).
I needed the latest version of Octave (3.6.4), and used Homebrew.
I already had XCode installed, so the rest:
Install Homebrew
Based on the instructions in this page, I ran:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"
Install Octave
Following this guide, I ran:
brew tap homebrew/science
brew update && brew upgrade
brew install gfortran
brew install octave
Install AquaTerm
Notice that you need this before you install gnuplot (or gnuplot won't see aqua as a valid terminal and you may get 'unknown or ambiguous terminal type' error).
Simply downloaded the latest version (1.1.0) dmg from SourceForge.
Install gnuplot
brew install gnuplot
You could try installing it with Home Brew. Once you download and install Home Brew, use this guide to get Octave installed.
Easiest option would be using the precompilled .app
I've tried the precompiled .app, but had issues with certain functions (like sound),
whereas the macports version always worked.
I usually install it using macports:
sudo port install octave
for the basics.
You might need other port variants/octave modules installed:
sudo port install octave octave-signal octave-plot octave-image octave-signal
Need to have XCode with Command Line Tools first and Macports with this route though
How to know if a Fink package is installed
By default (and this should be your case too if you didn't changed it), Fink installs everything under /sw, i.e. the binaries you are looking for should be in /sw/bin/.
Run ls /sw/bin/octave*and, depending on the output, you then have two choices :
Either the Octave binary is inside /sw/bin, in that case run echo $PATH and learn more about PATH Variable to fix your problem.
Otherwise, if there is nothing inside, there might have been a problem with the install. Try running fink install octave once more, look closely at the output and update your post if necessary.
This is simply an update on the instruction provided by Izhaki (that I ran on Mac OSX 10.8.4).
You may be required to update XCode to 4.6.3. This can be done through the AppStore.
If you encounter the error:
Error: Download failed: http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/sites/default/files/software_releases/source/tbb41_20130613oss_src.tgz
during
brew install octave
Then invoke:
brew update
brew install octave
and the install will pick up where it left off. Other than that, the instruction worked seamlessly.
I am trying to use the po2json parser/converter from the JS gettext library (http://jsgettext.berlios.de/), but when I try to convert I get this error:
Can't locate JSON.pm in #INC (#INC contains: /Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.12 /Network/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.12 /Library/Perl/Updates/5.12.4 /System/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.12 /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.12 .) at ./po2json line 23.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./po2json line 23.
As far as I understand I am missing a perl module, namely JSON.pm, an I think it's this one: http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/MAKAMAKA/JSON-2.53/lib/JSON.pm
Now, how do I install it on OSX? I am using Mountain Lion.
I tried to do cpan install JSON, but it doesn't work, I get the following error:
Writing Makefile for JSON
MAKAMAKA/JSON-2.53.tar.gz
make -- NOT OK
'YAML' not installed, will not store persistent state
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Use homebrew to install cpanm:
brew install cpanm
Then you can install JSON with
sudo cpanm install JSON
The output said that make didn't return success. Probably due to some dependency.
Try using cpanm http://search.cpan.org/~miyagawa/App-cpanminus-1.5017/bin/cpanm, it's really hassle free and bootstrapped quite well (no need to install other stuff).
Install using this:
curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus
cpan install JSON Having the JSON in all caps made it work for me.
I know this is an old topic, but wanted to share my solution after finding that I needed JSON when trying to use zap2xml (perl based). I was getting the error: "Can't locate JSON.pm in #INC..." after installing perl via Homebrew.
This is how I installed JSON via Homebrew. I will also include the steps required to install Homebrew (for those who would like to know). ;)
Prerequisites:
Install Xcode from the App Store (Download):

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Update Homebrew (Run in Terminal):
brew update
brew upgrade
brew doctor (correct issues found by brew doctor. Instructions will be given by The Doctor. :P)
Install cpanminus (Run in Terminal):
brew install cpanm
Check perl (Run in Terminal):
which perl
perl -V (with a capital -V)
Check/Install JSON module (Run in Terminal):
sudo cpanm -v JSON
DONE.
Following worked for me:
Run on terminal:
