macOS installation fails

[ejunker]

What went wrong?

I tried installing using Homebrew and also using the install script and both failed

❯ brew install earth
==> Fetching downloads for: earth
✘ Bottle earth (0.8.17)
Error: Failed to download resource "earth"

Hello @ejunker thanks for your report.

We're working on this presently. The installer script from web should be fixed now. If you try again on macos you should see:

❯ curl -fsSL https://www.earthbuild.dev/install.sh | sh

Next steps:

  1. Run 'earth bootstrap' to complete setup
  2. Visit https://docs.earthbuild.dev/getting-started

Also for homebrew we need to make some fixes on the backend to support the documented instructions which we plan to do by the official release. For now you can use:

brew tap earthbuild/earthbuild
brew install earth HEAD

[kmannislands]

@janishorsts will use this ticket to track the remaining work on brew

[flamein]

brew install earth HEAD
This doesn't work

brew install earth HEAD
Warning: No available formula with the name "head". Did you mean jhead or hexd?

to be fair, my initial error was different:

f.lamein@CWLN7XT2J31K cw-api % brew tap earthbuild/earthbuild
brew install earth

but is actually 6babd00c58685413912e5e92bd22bb5c7ee993e8

Assuming this might be related to ARM64 vs AMD64 arch builds.... or is it tag reuse with different commits?

[zyegfryed]

@flamein the correct invocation is:

brew install --HEAD earth

[janishorsts]

Sorry for the long delay. I'll update the documentation later.

You can install earth on MacOS or Linux directly from this tap using:

brew install earthbuild/tap/earth

Or you can tap the repository first and then install:

brew tap earthbuild/tap
brew install earth
