Hey there! No need to install newer bash, should work properly with existing one. Although you can try `brew install bash`, probably you’ll get rid of this error. Thanks, Costas ---

It’s related with openssl. οpenssl@1.1 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local, because macOS provides LibreSSL. So installing another version in parallel can cause all kinds of trouble. To have openssl@1.1 first in your PATH, run: `echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc` or a simplified version / for testing, may be ```auto cd /usr/local/include ln -s ../opt/openssl/include/openssl . ``` Thanks, Costas ---

thank you @copi I followed your suggestions but I had no luck. In the beginning I’ve tried: ```auto cd /usr/local/include ln -s ../opt/openssl/include/openssl . ``` Then: ```auto echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc ``` After both attempts the installation failed with those sqlite related errors. So I’ve installed last version of bash (with brew) but netdata’s installation continued to fail. Now I can see a new error in the very beginning of installation. You can read it below: ```auto Searching for libelf ...

So, it seems that it doesn’t pick up the path for the includes and libraries for OpenSSL, installed by brew. We typically expect on a x86 mac to be located in `/usr/local/opt/openssl/include` and the libs to use for link in `/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib`. This is where the installer tries to locate them, but you can override it, lets try: Try to prepend the kickstart command with a CFLAGS and LDFLAGS with the paths that the include files and libraries live. An example would be: `CFLAGS=“-I /usr/local/opt/include/ -I /usr/local/opt/openssl/include/” LDFLAGS=“-L /opt/homebrew/lib/ -L /usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib” curl [https://my-net](https://my-net)… Again, you may need to adjust for the correct paths on your machine. Please don’t add another `openssl` after the include. There should also be a symlink `openssl` to `openssl@1.1`. Whatever you use should be fine. If the symlink is missing, then you can use `openssl@1.1’. Also note that recently brew has been shipping Openssl 3, and that would be installed under `openssl@3` or similar. You can use that as well, adjusting the paths above. I’m assuming that either the symlink `/usr/local/opt/openssl` is missing, and openssl@3 is installed. Can you please paste an `ls /usr/local/opt/` ? Thanks!! ---

thank you @Manolis_Vasilakis for your suggestion but unfortunately I had no luck. I’ve tried your example: ```auto CFLAGS="-I /usr/local/opt/include/ -I /usr/local/opt/openssl/include/" LDFLAGS="-L /opt/homebrew/lib/ -L /usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib" wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh ``` The installation continues to fail as before. It seems to me that the errors are the same. In the link below you can find the new log [Netdata failed build log #2](https://pastebin.com/0Cj86SzT) The output of `ls /usr/local/opt/` is instead the following: ```auto ls /usr/local/opt/ autoconf cmake libunistring lz4 ossp-uuid autoconf@2.71 gettext libusb m4 pkg-config automake json-c libusb-compat make pkgconfig bash libidn2 libuv nut wget ca-certificates libtool lsusb openssl@1.1 zlib ``` Thank you again… P.S. If I can’t use the official installer what do you think about installing Netdata with Homebrew? ---

Sometimes (we need to look when exactly) brew creates a symlink to openssl@1.1 under there. It’s not now, I think because of the way openssl was installed at first. If you specify `brew install openssl` it will, but with `brew install openssl@1.1` it wont… Let’s try the above, it should be able to compile … 🙂 Thanks for all your patience!! ---

First of all, thank you @Manolis_Vasilakis for your kind attention. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to install Netdata. I made two attempts. The first by following your suggestion without changing anything. The second time I made a small change for the `CFLAGS=` value. In fact, I realized that the `include` folder is not inside the `opt` folder but in `local`. So I made the following attempt: ```auto CFLAGS="-I /usr/local/include/ -I /usr/local/opt/openssl/include/" LDFLAGS="-L /opt/homebrew/lib/ -L /usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib" wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh ``` The installation, in both cases, ended with the same errors as the previous tests. I noticed another difference in the folder path. In fact, the `Homebrew` folder is not found in the `/ opt` folder but in `/ usr / local /`. Also, the `Homebrew` folder does not contain a `lib` folder. However, I have not made any other tests. Not being a linux user I don’t have the necessary knowledge on folder paths, their meaning, permissions, etcetera etcetera. I trust in your preparation and in your patience 🙏 ---

Hi @liuk4friends don’t worry, we’ll get it, we like such things 🙂 Ok, it seems that the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS that we ask you to specify are lost when it comes to the configure part (line 475 in your log). Basically what we do with those 2 is to tell the compiler that it can search those paths for C include files and libraries (in your case for openssl). It might be that the flags are lost, because of the way the rest of the command is run: `CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/include/" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib" wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh` The `&&` part might be the trouble. If you can please could you try the following approach?: 1. Download the kickstart script in it’s own command, i.e: `wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh` And then run it, and use the CFLAGS/LDFLAGS, ie.: `CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/include/" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib" sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh` Thank you!
