Can't start Hyper from terminal (/opt/homebrew/bin/hyper: line 4: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory)

• I am on the latest Hyper.app version
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

• OS version and name: MacOS Monterey 12.3
• Hyper.app version: 3.2.0
• Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: .hyper.js
• Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere):

Issue

Attempting to invoke Hyper from the terminal (terminal.app or iTerm2) fails:

$ hyper

$ /opt/homebrew/bin/hyper: line 4: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory
$ /opt/homebrew/bin/hyper: line 8: ./MacOS/Hyper: No such file or directory

Please note my Python installation was done via Homebrew and as I am on an M1 machine all Homebrew installs go under /opt/homebrew/bin.

Also, there’s no such ./MacOS/Hyper anywhere. Was it supposed to get created by Hyper? It’s not there.

Hyper was also installed with Homebrew.

I cannot run either Tools/Install Hyper CLI command in PATH, I get the following error:

This latest version of the patch works perfectly fine, the cli is back and fig works as well (yes, indeed fig is very neat @zcutlip, did you check how nice is to create your own shortcuts or add mixins to expand the current clis?).

No, haven’t played with it yet. Looking forward to it!

Thank you so much. Would this get overwritten on an upcoming version of Hyper?

Yes it’ll get overwritten. I’ll try to submit a PR soon so hopefully they’ll take the fix.

Hmm getting this / or similar error when running the above with or without the set -x part as well

./script.sh: line 10: //MacOS/Hyper: No such file or directory

//MacOS/Hyper: No such file or directory seems like a reoccurring error.

This shell script expects to be in its proper home inside the Hyper.app application bundle. That’s what all the CONTENTS=, ELECTRON=, etc are doing…trying to find the path to Hyper.app relative to the hyper script. So you need to patch the script in place: Hyper.app/Contents/Resources/bin/hyper

hyper version was working for me the other day before the latest mac update to macOS Monterey 12.3

That’s because the system’s default python was removed in macOS 12.3. This has been anticipated for a couple years, but the Hyper project must not have known. More info here: https://scriptingosx.com/2020/02/wrangling-pythons/
