brew install filebot

Post by rednoah »

The easiest way to install and update FileBot on macOS is to have the brew package manager do it for you.


The installer/app.sh script will install brew and FileBot for you:

Shell: Select all

sh -xu <<< "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebot/plugins/master/installer/app.sh)"


If you feel like running each command yourself step by step, please follow the instructions:

1. Install brew:

Shell: Select all

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
2. Update brew package index:

Shell: Select all

brew update
3. Install FileBot:

Shell: Select all

brew install filebot --force --no-quarantine
:arrow: Check if filebot is working:

Shell: Select all

filebot -script fn:sysinfo

:arrow: If you want to upgrade filebot you can run:

Shell: Select all

brew update && brew upgrade
:arrow: If you want to uninstall filebot you can run:

Shell: Select all

brew uninstall filebot --zap
:idea: If you have $PATH issues when running filebot (e.g. if /usr/local/bin is not in the $PATH) then you may use the absolute path to the executable:

Shell: Select all

/usr/local/bin/filebot

:idea: If you want understand what is executed exactly when you call filebot you can run:

Shell: Select all

ls -l `which filebot`

If you are using the GUI application for the first time, then you may need to launch FileBot via Finder ➔ Right-Click FileBot.app ➔ Open to indicate to the system that you know what you're doing:
