Use
go install github.com/cortesi/modd/cmd/modd@latest

Using go install does not work for me.

% go install github.com/cortesi/modd/cmd/modd@latest
# github.com/rjeczalik/notify

What version of Go are you running?

Can you try cleaning your caches, and then installing?

go clean -modcache
go clean -cache

[jesselang]

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I'd be happy to open a separate issue if desired.

%  go version
go version go1.18 darwin/amd64

% go clean -modcache
% go clean -cache

% go install github.com/cortesi/modd/cmd/modd@latest

Ah, CGO_ENABLED must be enabled. I have it set to zero by default. This worked.

CGO_ENABLED=1 go install github.com/cortesi/modd/cmd/modd@latest

[jesselang]

It appears the brew formulae for modd was disabled on September 14th, 2022 after being deprecated on August 27th, 2021. Homebrew/homebrew-core#84056 offers meaningful context (referencing #96) which points to the need for a release which uses Go modules. Presumably, once that new release exists, the formulae can be revived from its disabled state. I've updated dependencies in #123 in preparation for a new release. I hope this helps. Thanks!

[jesselang]

@joncalhoun, I'd be interested in your review of my findings, and perhaps we could work together toward a resolution? Thanks much!

[joncalhoun]

Sorry. Go ahead and start prepping things for a go modules release if you think that will help resolve the brew issue. Would be a good idea to have a go module version here anyway.

[jesselang]

@joncalhoun, with #123 merged, I believe the next step would be to create a new release. After which, the homebrew formula could be updated to use that new release. Thoughts?

✅ SOLVED: MacOS M1 cannot install app

I think I tried now every possible solution and nothing worked. Just to summaries everything: brew is disabled, the go get / go install command runs without issue but the command modd is unregistered and the MacOS Binary from the release section is not signed, so it is not executable.

[joncalhoun]

I'm running modd on an M2, so it is definitely possible. I don't recall what I had to do to make it work though (if anything). You may need to update your security & privacy settings to open apps from identified developers, then make an exception for modd. I don't recall if I did that or not. Another thing to possibly check is which version of modd is being run and ensure it isn't a leftover file (vs the one go install creates). Maybe run `which modd` and delete/move the files until you get no binary (in case multiple are installed), then do a fresh go install?

I discovered that my golang installation does install it but does not register it as a command. At first I registered it in the bashrc config because I was told you cannot register commands on macos, but then I read you can do that by creating a link to /usr/local/bin/<command-name>so issue solved

[silverwind]

go install method works fine and that homebrew formula seems to have been some inofficial thing, so I recommend closing the issue.
