After quick googling, it seems that this issue occurs only on macOS. Is that true? Are you using macOS @fantouch ?

On macOS, you may try methods suggested here:

Easiest one is on this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/59938967/3706717
Or this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/56219990/3706717

brew install coreutils
ln -s /usr/local/bin/greadlink /usr/local/bin/readlink

I will add this to README.md if you confirmed that it solves this issue
