fish: Uknown command 'omf'

[davidnknight]

Hi,

I've done a clean install of Fish using Brew, then using the installer and both times I get fish: Uknown command 'omf':

Welcome to fish, the friendly interactive shell
Type help for instructions on how to use fish
David@Davids-MacBook-Pro ~> omf
fish: Unknown command 'omf'
David@Davids-MacBook-Pro ~> fish -v
fish, version 2.2.0
David@Davids-MacBook-Pro ~>

FYI: Just installed using the command line curl -L github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish/raw/master/bin/install | fish omf help and now works fine.

Could you show us the output of the installation?

It's likely that the installation did work but you needed to open a new shell for omf to load properly.

[davidnknight]

I don't have the output anymore but I had opened countless new shells and even restarted the machine but to no avail, so that certainly wasn't the issue.

The line should be

curl -L github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish/raw/master/bin/install | fish

[davidnknight]

The above curl line that I used was copied from the read me. Either way, the curl method worked, it was the brew and installer methods that left me with an incomplete installation.

I'm a little lost here, I don't know what happened nor which command you ran... So I don't even know if we have to do changes to the README page.

If you could share more information, that would be helpful. Thanks!

For example:

$ brew install fish

==> Pouring fish-2.4.0.sierra.bottle.tar.gz
==> Using the sandbox
==> Caveats
You will need to add:
  /usr/local/bin/fish
to /etc/shells.

Then run:
  chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish
to make fish your default shell.

$ fish --version
fish, version 2.4.0
$ omf
-bash: omf: command not found

Opening a new shell doesn't help. I'm on OSX 10.12.1

Ah ha! This explains everything.

Oh-My-Fish is not bundled with the fish shell. Not in brew, nor anywhere else.
Oh-My-Fish is a package manager, written in fish, for fish, and we here like it the most, but it's not the only one. There are other such package managers, and each fish user is free to choose a package manager for him/herself, if any at all.

To use OMF, you'll need to install it first. See: https://github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish#installation

[tamoyal]

Yep that's the deal. I was thinking the installer took care of everything but the pipe makes it clear

The line should be

curl -L github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish/raw/master/bin/install | fish

thanks brow
