codelite-official is not installed

Post by EadWig »

Hello, everyone

I would like help in letting Homebrew register CodeLite 17.11.0 in its list of installed software
with the intention of upgrading it using its command,

Code: Select all

brew upgrade

, on macOS Sequoia 15.0.1.

I have followed each step of the procedure as described at https://docs.codelite.org/downloads/download/#macos.
However, when I run

Code: Select all

brew list --cask

in Terminal, codelite-official will not show up,
and when I run

Code: Select all

brew upgrade codelite-official

, it returns the following error message:

Cask 'codelite-official' is not installed.

It is odd that CodeLite keeps prompting me to install the new version,
even though it cannot be found by the brew commands.
Do you have to go through the procedure given in the CodeLite Documentation for macOS each time you update the IDE?

It would be appreciated if anyone would help me shed light on this.

P.S. As the last resort, I enquired ChatGPT about this same question,
and consequently refreshed the cache and deleted the CodeLite directory from Application Support to install CodeLite anew,
only to crash it each time the app was launched, even though codelite-official was successfully registered with the brew list.

Thanks for reading.
