Upgrade or install Utility `stat`

bash

I tried to install GNU utility stat

    $ brew install stat
    Error: No formulae found in taps.

However,it succeeded to install GNU Bash

How to achieve such a task?

Best Answer

stat is part of the coreutils package.

brew install coreutils

This installs stat with a g prefix: gstat.

You can avoid the g prefix by following the Caveats section:

All commands have been installed with the prefix 'g'.

If you really need to use these commands with their normal names, you can add a "gnubin" directory to your PATH from your bashrc like:
PATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"

Bash Terminal keeps showing “No such file or directory” at startup

Check the contents of your ~/.bash_profile, or ~/.bashrc, for anything regarding this.

You can try renaming all three files to something else, then relaunch Terminal. If the problem goes away, put each file back one by one and test each time to find which file contains the 'bad' line.
