Homebrew Install fails: Error: sshfs has been disabled because it requires FUSE!

[Tarkleigh]

Hi everyone,

I tried installing Telepresence following the official installation guide at https://www.telepresence.io/reference/install and the brew command does not work for me. It fails with this output:

brew install datawire/blackbird/telepresence redacted

Error: sshfs has been disabled because it requires FUSE!

This happens even after running "brew cask install osxfuse" before and even if I install sshfs and MacFuse manually. Could you please help? I am using MacOS BigSur 11.2.3 (Intel, not Apple Silicon)

Thanks and best regards

I'm facing the same error on running brew install datawire/blackbird/telepresence in BigSure 11.2.3.
I tried reinstalling MacFuse twice and restarting the system after allowing the application in system preferences but it did not help.

Installing from Source worked on my system and I'm able run telepresence. I guess the issue is with Homebrew.

I solved the problem,follow these step:

1. install the Release of FUSE for macOS 3.11.2 from https://osxfuse.github.io/2020/10/05/OSXFUSE-3.11.2.html
2. execute brew command in terminal: brew install datawire/blackbird/telepresence --ignore-dependencies

$ brew install osxfuse
==> Caveats
osxfuse requires a kernel extension to work.
If the installation fails, retry after you enable it in:
  System Preferences → Security & Privacy → General

For more information, refer to vendor documentation or this Apple Technical Note:
  https://developer.apple.com/library/content/technotes/tn2459/_index.html

You must reboot for the installation of osxfuse to take effect.

Does this also work when I have macFUSE 4.1.0 installed ?

[Achieve777]

@freebrowser1 hey, I install this dependency, but it didn't work when I use it

Looks like there's a bug in our code. Sorry about that!

Hello, I tried the different solutions of this forum but I still have the error message : "Error: sshfs has been disabled because it requires FUSE!".

This was when I tried to install sshfs with homebrew. I tried installing fuse with homebrew and by downloading it, but I got the error message with both. However, macFUSE is install on my system preferences and I gave him access, so I don't know why fuse can't be find. I also tried to download fuse and sshfs, but sshfs is still not working.

I'm on macOS Big Sur 11.2.

Does someone have another solutions that worked for him ? Thank you in advance for reading my message.

Installing macFUSE 4.1.0 and SSHFS 2.5.0 from https://osxfuse.github.io/ worked out fine for me.

macOS Big Sur 11.3

[freebrowser1]

Weird, I do have 4.1.0 on Big Sur 11.2 and have sshfs

       sshfs --version
      SSHFS version 2.10
      FUSE library version: 2.9.9
      fuse: no mount point

But updating from brew issues that error "sshfs has been disabled because it requires FUSE!" .

I encountered the same problem when trying to install squashfuse, a simple way to fix this is to edit the formula file and remove the fuse restriction temporarily, here's what I did:

diff --git a/Formula/squashfuse.rb b/Formula/squashfuse.rb
index 684df1f2e1..20f80966b3 100644
--- a/Formula/squashfuse.rb

I think it should be the same as to telepresence, just find the .rb formula file and comment the restiction part.
