Error running brew tap nats-io/nats-tools in Mac

[marymakau5]

Getting error when running brew tap nats-io/nats-tools in Mac. What's the solution?

[aricart]

Not sure what tool you are trying to tap on, but if you were doing nsc you simply do:

brew tap nats-io/nats-tools
brew install nats-io/nats-tools/nsc

# to uninstall:
brew uninstall nats-io/nats-tools/nsc
brew untap nats-io/nats-tools

If nats cli, you can replace nsc with nats on the install and uninstall commands. Just verified that these steps worked for me:

also tried with the nats cli and it worked for me. You may need to perform the uninstall steps.

I want to install nats administration tools ; nats cli on Mac Mini

[aricart]

brew tap nats-io/nats-tools
brew install nats-io/nats-tools/nats

should do it.

The homebrew page says:
run brew update twice and then run brew doctor - that may help in finding the issue.

Threw in a quick PR to fix this issue. It is present on M1's because unlike the nats.rb entry, nsc.rb has an intel? check, which will lead to failure to be able to tap in the first place.

Apologies for the double PR, let cli tooling push it, and missed the conflict with the formula update.
