If you retry with --force (per the last line of that output), does it install and work as expected?

I've installed Plerd but I've run into a few issues:

! Testing Plerd-1.820 failed but installing it anyway.

zsh: command not found: plerdall

zsh: command not found: plerdwatcher

For the first issue is it a serious error if not great! Now for the plerdall and plerdwatcher commands, how would I get them to work? I try exporting them in my .zshrc file on my Macbook but I have failed at every attempt. I know there is probably a simple solution but I cannot seem to figure it out.

Hi @iamllcoolray,

It sounds like there may be a path issue going on, if Plerd installed but your shell can't see its executables.

Could you please tell me more about what commands you ran to install plerd, and what its output was? I'm also curious about what version of macOS you're running.

[iamllcoolray]

Hey @jmacdotorg,

I am running macOS High Sierra-v10.13.6.

When I installed Plerd I ran:

sudo cpanm --force Plerd

This is the output I got:

--> Working on Plerd
Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/J/JM/JMAC/Plerd-1.820.tar.gz ... OK

Thanks for taking the time to look this over.

[jmacdotorg]

OK, thanks!

And trying to run plerdall after that gives you a command not found error, still?

If so... could you just use your Mac's own local-file search tools (like the Finder's good File->Find) to see where plerdall ended up? :) I would expect there to be one copy in a temporary location that cpanm downloaded, but there should also be another copy in an "installed" place, like /usr/local/bin/.

[iamllcoolray]

The only two paths have for plerdall and plerdwatcher are:

/User/plerd/bin/plerdall
/User/plerd/bin/plerdwatcher
/User/plerd/blib/script/plerdall
/User/plerd/blib/script/plerdwatcher

So what I did was make a copy of each executables to /usr/local/bin/ but ran into this
output:

plerdall

Can't start /usr/local/bin/plerdall: I can't find a Plerd config file in /Users/kurookami/plerd.conf, 
/Users/kurookami/conf/plerd.conf, /Users/kurookami/.plerd, or in /usr/local/bin/../conf/plerd.conf, 
and no other location was specified as a command-line argument. 
at /usr/local/Cellar/perl/5.30.1/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.30.1/Plerd/Util.pm line 39.

and

plerdwatcher

[jmacdotorg]

I am pleased to report that this is good news - these messages are coming from Plerd, not your shell. So Plerd is compiling and running and immediately exiting because it doesn't have a config file set up, just like it says.

To amend this, follow the steps here: https://github.com/jmacdotorg/plerd#configuration

[iamllcoolray]

I just tested out the plerdall --init command in an empty directory and everything works. Thank you so much for your help.
