Hi @utkarsh2102 - given that nobody contributed to this project in over 5 years, I very much doubt it still works. Further more, macOS ships with it's own notification system now, which can be invoked via shell:

osascript -e 'display notification "Whatsup?"'

I don't think it would be wise use of time to fix this - I'm going to go ahead and close your issue.

Also, I'll most likely archive this repository as Growl itself seems to be unmaintained cc @tj
