I get an abort error #8

Closed CaptainJeff closed 7 years ago

I installed it through npm but when i try to run git recall i get the following error

abort: the program lesskey is not installed. Make sure to install it before running git-recall

I assume you're on mac OS? Cause the same happened to me. Seems like less is compiled without the lesskey feature. I'm not sure how to fix it without recompiling less, though.

I've got the same problem, for me, the solution was to install less from brew(which also includes lesskey):

brew install less

Did you install it from dupes/less?

Yes, to be more specific the command should be brew install homebrew/dupes/less as Kevin said in another issue. But similar search is performed automatically, therefore short name should work in most cases.

Lesskey is no longer required now.
