It did not work.

The CoreUtils package is also published as a Brew formulae. So if you have Brew installed you can also just run:

brew install coreutils

Then add PATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH" to ~/.bashrc, run source ~/.bashrc and you're done.

OSX curl error with unprivileged user dyld: Library not loaded

I had a similar issue, running

curl http://some.site

gave

dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libssl.1.0.0.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/samh/anaconda3/lib/libssh2.1.dylib
Reason: image not found

however, running conda install libssh2 fixed the problem. This makes no sense to me, since curl has worked on my machine for years... but at least it works now.

No telnet in MacOS

After investigating a little, I found from a ticket opened in the MacPorts bugtracker: telnet port request (High Sierra) about the lack of telnet, and that the needed package is inetutils.

So I installed inetutils with:

sudo port install inetutils

And know I already can use telnet.

PS. If Homebrew is your thing, you can also install telnet with:

brew install telnet
