Installation via install.sh fails on macos

[bakayu]

Current Behavior

when running curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gitxtui/gitx/master/install.sh | bash on macos, installation fails.
Need to investigate what is the cause.

logs:

Downloading gitx v1.2.0 for darwin/arm64...
Installing gitx to /usr/local/bin...
Root permission is required to install gitx to /usr/local/bin
Password:
mv: rename /var/folders/v3/lghmh8r13q954b_jr28hql800000gn/T/tmp.IH64pB8Le6/gitx to /usr/local/bin/gitx: No such file or directory

Desired Behavior

The install script should install gitx as a global package on mac systems

PR Acceptance Criteria

• Achieve the desired behavior and test it out on a mac system.
• Attach proof - screen shot/demo of working desired behavior.

ig its because /usr/local/bin/ doesn’t exist on that Mac.
Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) and newer macOS versions sometimes don’t create /usr/local/bin by default, because Homebrew and Apple tools often install binaries in /opt/homebrew/bin/ instead.

I see, would you be able to propose a solution to this so that the installation doesn't fail in any case?

[whynotdeep7]

the script tries to move the binary to [bin] without checking if the directory exist.
sol->create directory if doesn't exist /try alternative locations

can u assign it to me?

[bakayu]

Sure @whynotdeep7
