brew install option

[niladam]

Hello,

Do you think a brew install method will be available soon ?

[sharkdp]

This would be nice, but I'm not going to work on this myself. It will be available whenever someone decides to work on this.

Thinking of doing so.

Current problem

• GitHub repository too new (<30 days old)

... waiting.

For the meantime, the binary release seems to work fine (just tested in VirtualBox):

wget https://github.com/sharkdp/bat/releases/download/v0.2.2/bat-v0.2.2-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
tar xvfz bat-v0.2.2-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
cd bat-v0.2.2-x86_64-apple-darwin
./bat README.md

Didn't work for me though. I do have openssl installed via brew but maybe I'm missing something I still don't know. Could anyone give me a hand?

[sharkdp]

Please use bat-0.2.2, not 0.2.1.

2 hours ago! That was so quick!
It works and it's awesome just as expected 👍

Wait no more... I added a formula for bat to my custom homebrew tap (v0.2.3 at this time).

Install using:

brew tap alexkli/tap
brew install bat

@xu-cheng awesome!

[sharkdp]

bat can now be installed via

brew install bat

@xu-cheng Thank you very much!

Now the problem is it also compiles rust from source which takes huge amount of time :(
