I am unable to install apg via homebrew in OSX. I tried brew install apg but I got No available formula with the name "apg".
Tried looking around but no success so far.
The apg formula for homebrew has been removed because the upstream software doesn't seem to be maintained anymore. The home page of the apg software is not reachable and even on other OS, like Debian, the package will probably be discontinued soon (see the notice at the bottom of the description). That's the reason why a brew install apg is not working for you.
That being said, if you look closely at the discussion around the removal from homebrew, you'll find that someone is now maintaining an updated formula in its own homebrew tap. You can then install apg by first adding his tap:
brew tap jzaleski/homebrew-jzaleski
brew install apg

I am not sure how badly I have hosed this. I updated dbt to v20 globally too soon. I did uninstall v20. I need to return the project to version 19.1. I am running into errors doing this. As background I am running a virtual. I am on macos.
These two commands work as expected:
brew tap dbt-labs/dbt
brew unlink dbt
Then I run brew install dbt-labs/dbt/dbt#0.19.1
I get (I expect this) Warning: dbt-labs/dbt/dbt#0.19.1 0.19.1_1 is already installed, it's just not linked. To link this version, run: brew link dbt#0.19.1
Then I run brew link dbt#0.19.1 or brew link dbt-labs/dbt/dbt#0.19.1 and I get:
Error: Formulae found in multiple taps:
* dbt-labs/dbt/dbt#0.12.2-rc1
* fishtown-analytics/dbt/dbt#0.12.2-rc1
Please use the fully-qualified name (e.g. dbt-labs/dbt/dbt#0.12.2-rc1) to refer to the formula.
So I try brew link dbt-labs/dbt/dbt#0.12.2-rc1
Disclosure...I code dbt modules but I do not get too far into the installation since I rarely need to do it. Any help would be highly appreciated.
You might find this issue in the dbt-labs/dbt repo helpful.
TL;DR:
You may be running into issues due to the repo name change. It could help to do a full re-install, i.e.:
brew untap fishtown-analytics/dbt --force
brew tap dbt-labs/dbt
brew install dbt#x.y.z
You can then follow the instructions here as normal for managing several versions with homebrew.
Previously I've had things installed with homebrew which had dependencies which I omitted to remove when I removed the package itself (homebrew of course does not do this automatically for you, for good reason).
Now, to tidy up my system a bit, I'd like to identify all the brew packages which are not required by any other that is installed, so that I can manually identify those which I want to keep vs. those I am happy to remove.
To do this manually, I would do brew list, then, on each item which that outputs, I would do brew uses --installed <name-of-package-from-brew-list>, to check with respect to each package whether it is used by any other installed package (Then, if the answer is none, if I was curious as to why it was originally installed, I could also do brew uses <name-of-installed-package> which might indicate to me which package I used in the past but have since uninstalled actually installed it originally).
This is all very manual and I wondered if xargs could help.
My attempt to use it isn't working:
brew list | xargs brew uses --installed > test.txt
I get no output at all from that command, a blank file (but the command takes several seconds to run).
What am I not doing right with xargs?
It seems like brew leaves would fit your use-case?
% brew leaves --help
Usage: brew leaves
List installed formulae that are not dependencies of another installed formula.
From the question:
brew list | xargs brew uses --installed > test.txt
This command should be spelled xargs -n1 since brew uses with multiple formulae does something quite different:
% brew uses --help
Usage: brew uses [options] formula
Show formulae that specify formula as a dependency. When given multiple
formula arguments, show the intersection of formulae that use formula. By
default, uses shows all formulae that specify formula as a required or
recommended dependency for their stable builds.
brew autoremove --dry-run
Removes all packages that were only installed as a dependency of another formula and are now no longer needed. With the --dry-run flag you can dry run it and just get a list of all packages without uninstalling anything.
Up until iOS 11, i've been using the idevice** binaries to extract information from iPhones ranging from models 6 to X via idevicediagnostics.exe on Windows OS via idevicediagnostics ioreg AppleARMPMUCharger.
However, with the release of iOS 12, everything stopped working. What once was a lively file (converted to JSON) i get to export from this command is now an empty xml document. Now i do this because of our Company's Business. We extract battery information as insurance, proof, and history that batteries are as good as they can be. Also to track the Battery Serial and SOH Value while at it.
I've downloaded several updated idevice** binaries and even updated iTunes and Apple drivers but as i'd expect, its broken now. Now, i am looking for alternative ways to do this, are there any other API out there that can do the same job as AppleARMPMUCharger once did? I'm thinking of working on a small iOS Application that will export the data from within the iPhone itself and send it to an FTP or REST API maybe? However, i do not know which registry or namespace to hook it up to.
It's worth noting that CoconutBattery - a MacOS Application that also reads battery information from iPhone still works as expected. Leaving me wonder, how they do it, or what API they are looking at.
Looking for positive responses, cheers.
PS: links routes to the actual files exported when the command is ran.
I had one similar problem which was solved finally by reinstalling the libmobiledevice. I found the instructions from this Github issue. I am posting those instructions here as well for convenience.
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies libimobiledevice
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies ideviceinstaller
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies usbmuxd
sudo rm /var/db/lockdown/*
brew install --HEAD usbmuxd
brew unlink usbmuxd
brew link usbmuxd
brew install --HEAD libimobiledevice
brew install --HEAD ideviceinstaller
If you do not have brew installed in your machine, please follow the instruction from this website.
Hence, finally, the reinstallation of libmobiledevice solved the problem.
Can you try to get information using the AppleSmartBattery key instead? See libimobiledevice#823
Does any one know how to install asterisk on mac? I am new to voip so please guide me from basics like what software/ command line tools would be needed.
I do tried to search it on google but couldn't found any doc with the proper steps. You can also provide link of tutorial. Thanks in advance.
Try brew it yourself brew asterisk
minor issues in asterisk.rb and pjsip-asterisk.rb during brew
change "<<-EOS.undent" to "<<~EOS" as suggest by brew solve the problem
-
xcode-select --install
brew tap leedm777/homebrew-asterisk
brew install asterisk
For novice in voip, recommended way is start virtulization system on your choice, run asterisk in container.
Not think you can find really upto-date tutorial for install asterisk on non-linux OS(windows,osx,solaris or linux-risk,linux-ARM, whatever). Such install required expert level on destination OS.
So I've been using homebrew to install various packages/libraries/programs on my mac. I keep running into a problem in which homebrew tells me that I have unlinked kegs in my Cellar.
For instance, upon running brew install phantomjs I received the following message:
Warning: Could not link phantomjs. Unlinking...
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
You can try again using `brew link phantomjs'
Possible conflicting files are:
/usr/local/bin/phantomjs -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs
I tried running brew link phantomjs as recommended, and hit a similar problem:
Error: Could not symlink file: /usr/local/Cellar/phantomjs/1.9.2/bin/phantomjs
Target /usr/local/bin/phantomjs already exists. You may need to delete it.
To force the link and overwrite all other conflicting files, do:
brew link --overwrite formula_name
The command brew link --overwrite --dry-run phantomjs gives the following message:
Would remove:
/usr/local/bin/phantomjs -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs
I will probably go ahead and overwrite, but this appears to happen every time I try to install something with homebrew. Why? Why isn't homebrew working as expected?
Thanks.
From what I can tell, looks like you have previously done:
% sudo npm install -g phantomjs
In this case, you should do the following:
% sudo npm uninstall -g phantomjs
% brew link --overwrite phantomjs
I thought I'd take a crack at this. I ran into a similar problem today, and I think it may be related to this:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/22408
Long story short, I think it has to do with how npm manages packages vs how brew does it. (I'm assuming you installed node with its defaults, which would have given you npm).
At some point you probably installed some package with npm. Maybe grunt, karma, etc..those by default end up in /usr/local/lib/node_modules.
Maybe one of those packages or its dependencies(or sub-dependencies) depended on phantomjs (I think Karma might use phantomjs?) Anyways, if now you are trying to brew install phantomjs, which is trying to make a symlink to it, that may be conflicting with the already existing symlink that npm created for you..
I think you can change the symlink path for that package so that brew permanently points to that already installed package in the node_modules folder. Sorry not to be more specific, I'm just figuring this out myself.
