Error during installation of giter8 using Home-brew

Question

I've been trying to install giter8 using brew, like so: brew install giter8

I get the following error: Error: giter8 has been disabled because it fetches unversioned dependencies at runtime!

Does anybody know how to fix this, or what workarounds are available. Thank you!

Answer 1

This worked as a workaround for me. No idea if that's the proper fix

Edit the brew formula for giter8:

brew edit giter8

and delete this line

  disable! because: "fetches unversioned dependencies at runtime"

The default editor will be vim -- put cursor at that line and hit dd to delete then type :x to save and exit

then re-run brew install giter8 and you should be good

Answer 2

You can create giter8 projects with SBT directly and don't need to install giter8 via Homebrew anymore. sbt new scala/scala-seed.g8 is the example in the docs.

This thread has another workaround (@alexroussos solution also works).
