brew install failed on macos

% brew install kew

kew: Linux is required for this software.

Error: kew: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.



Yes, unfortunately it only works on Linux and FreeBSD. I should add that to the readme.

EDIT: Added.


Why, though?


Because I'm just one guy with a few people helping me a little bit. I needed a limited scope. But I'm actually thinking of porting it to Mac now.


I don’t think you need to port that much as macOS is based om freeBSD


Cus they like Stallman too much
