Install binary file != move binary to path folder

command lineinstall

What is the difference (is there any?) between sudo install -c -o %username% binaryfile usr/local/bin and just moving binary file to usr/local/bin?

Best Answer

When you use install, it will copy a file to it's destination, while mv changes the directory listing and is atomic. When you move a file from one file system to another then mv is not atomic and will copy the file to the other file system then remove the source file. Obviously, mv and install have different options with install offering you more fine grain choices.

You can refer to this bugreport:

If you want to be able to build with those checks not failing, refer to that bugreport to see when a patch is made.

In the meantime, you either have to live without the functionality that fails, or fix the bug yourself.

MacOS – Unknown error message in Terminal

.zshrc is a file run when you start an interactive zsh shell, found in your home directory. The error message says you have an export command which is written incorrectly on line 48. not valid in this context means you're trying to export something that's not a variable. It looks like you're trying to add stuff to your PATH, but are substituting the current path inside the zshrc file. Check that line in the file, there's probably a line along the lines of:

export $PATH=/some/directory/to/add/to/path/:$PATH

You just need to remove the first $ because it's substituting the current path there instead of assigning the PATH variable:

export PATH=/some/directory/to/add/to/path/:$PATH
