brew cask install filebot issues

Post by drspider »

OSX: 10.10.2
FileBot: 4.5.6
Transmission: 2.84

I ran into trouble running these above instructions.
The last step where is asks:

5. Check if filebot is working:
typing in
filebot -script fn:sysinfo
came up with a
command not found .

Very frustrating. Found a solution with a few brew commands on https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/issues/4667

I ended up manually uninstalling everything located in my Main/opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom folder .
Then manually uninstalling and reinstalling Java 8 via their website. I also went to every drive I was using, right clicked, then clicked on "Get More Info" and checked the box for "Ignore Ownership of this Volume."

Then using Terminal I typed in the following:

Code: Select all

 brew cleanup 

Code: Select all

brew cask cleanup

Code: Select all

brew install brew-cask

Code: Select all

brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask

Code: Select all

brew cask install filebot

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:sysinfo
I still have very little knowledge of using scripts so there are probably more efficient ways to uninstall and reinstall everything. But this worked for me. I think I had a few errors with ownership all around messing installs the first go around. Everything seems to be working now.
