Apple - Homebrew putty installation does not make the putty command recognisable
Update: Current stable version (.67
) of putty
can't be build with gtk+2
support on OS X using homebrew. This is a know issue #40951. It seems you can install from HEAD
version (brew install --HEAD --with-gtk+3 putty
) and for me that is also broken.
brew install putty
by default installs from a pre-built bottle
. The pre-built bottle
for putty
doesn't include putty
, puttytel
or pterm
.
If you want putty
then can try installing from source. First remove the installed putty
formula by running brew remove putty
. After that install putty
from source by running brew install --build-from-source --with-gtk+3 putty
.
NOTE: As of this writing building putty
from source is broken with homebrew
If someone is getting an error like this: invalid option: --with-gtk+3
, all installation options are removed with the latest version of the brew. source
