install failure on mac os x - no openvpn found

sr-murthy opened this issue 6 years ago · 6 comments

I was unable to install the Proton VPN CLI because the shell script was unable to find an openvpn package on my Mac (OS X 10.13.6).

[/path/to/protonvpn-cli]$ sudo ./protonvpn-cli.sh --install
Password:
[!] Error: openvpn is not installed. Install `openvpn` package to continue.

Just install OpenVPN with brew install openvpn.

@sr-murthy please, close the issue if the problem is solved.

I don't understand. I installed openvpn on my Mac using brew:

==> Caveats
To have launchd start openvpn now and restart at startup:
  sudo brew services start openvpn

but running sudo ./protonvpn-cli.sh --install gives me an error:

[!] Error: openvpn is not installed. Install `openvpn` package to continue.

Ah, I forgot to add /usr/local/Cellar/openvpn to the system path.

Doesn't work. I get the same error. This is hopeless, and anyway I am not interested in using this tool.

It's weird, on my Mac Homebrew installed a symlink to openvpn binary at /usr/local/sbin so I didn't need adding /usr/local/Cellar to system path.
