How to install the Dropshare for Mac CLI?

Dropshare 5 or newer

Since macOS Big Sur, the CLI can no longer be installed automatically as the filesystem permissions are more restrictive.

To manually install the CLI, please enter the following commands in Terminal.app:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin

# For regular installations
sudo ln -s "/Applications/Dropshare 5.app/Contents/Resources/ds.sh" /usr/local/bin/ds

# For Setapp installations
sudo ln -s "/Applications/Setapp/Dropshare.app/Contents/Resources/ds.sh" /usr/local/bin/ds 

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ds
