@jiraguha thank you for raising this issue. Will you paste the output of the brew install layer5io/mesheryctl command here? // @kushthedude

[kushthedude]

Are you sure you tapped the layer5io/tap before installing?

[jiraguha]

Ho, sorry, I had more logs shown the first time I tried. Now I have only:

❯ brew install layer5io/mesheryctl
Updating Homebrew...
==> Auto-updated Homebrew!
Updated 1 tap (homebrew/cask-versions).
==> Updated Casks
appcode-eap

not sure it help!

@kushthedude Meshery's instructions do not include the tap command explicitly, but are trying to be as concise as possible and use layer5io in the install command to assist with the potentially missing tap.

[jiraguha]

@kushthedude. I have just tapped and nothing! In my previous attempt I did... but If tap was needed I would assume to have a specific error showing that I need to tap?

[leecalcote]

@jiraguha if you run brew tap layer5io/homebrew-tap, then install, does this help?

[jiraguha]

@jiraguha if you run brew tap layer5io/homebrew-tap, then install, does this help?

No :-/

I moved to the bash installation which works :-)

[kushthedude]

@jiraguha Please do

brew tap layer5io/tap
brew install mesheryctl

[jiraguha]

Great this works! Even if I have conflics with my bash installation which was waited. Thanks.

Maybe the doc should include tap process.

[kushthedude]

Thanks for confirming @jiraguha , I guess we need some docs update 😉 .

Thank you, gents! Yes, indeed. @chandrashritii, will you kindly have issues opened for meshery.io, docs.meshery.io and layer5.io/meshery to include the tap command?
