Installing a pre-built binary

Note

Depending on what packages you have installed already, you're likely to get warnings about brew link not completing.

It's up to you how you handle these, you can safely "overwrite" the files that jank installs. Homebrew keeps all the original files in $(brew --repo)/Cellar and just links them to the main bin, etc, include and lib folders after install.

If you want to recover them later, you can do brew link --overwrite --force <formula>, optionally with --dry-run to see what will get wiped.

Currently, jank doesn't have a stable versioning scheme so the only version will be 0.1. As such, if you want a new version you'll have to reinstall the package.

You can either:

brew install jank-lang/jank/jank

To just install jank, or you can tap this repo using the below:

brew tap jank-lang/jank

And use brew as normal:

brew install jank

Or, in a brew bundle Brewfile:

tap "jank-lang/jank"
brew "jank"

Installing a source-built binary

The options are the same as above, but the formula is called jank-git instead of jank.

brew install jank-lang/jank/jank-git

If you get an error about git-lfs missing, you may have to run the below:

git lfs install
sudo ln -s "$(which git-lfs)" "$(git --exec-path)/git-lfs"
