Basic commands don't work on macOS after brew install (mkcert -install, -CAROOT responds with "unknown option")

[kopeboy]

Environment

• Operating system (including version): macOS Ventura 13.5.2
• mkcert version (from mkcert -version): 3.2.0
• Server (where the certificate is loaded): local
• Client (e.g. browser, CLI tool, or script): any

What you did

1. brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies mkcert => ok
2. brew install mkcert => ok
3. mkcert -install => error: unknown option
4. mkcert -CAROOT => error: unknown option

What went wrong

I don't know. Maybe multiple copies of go on my machine, or an installation in a non-canonical location, or a problem with the homebrew script? I had installed mkcert in a local node.js app so maybe it conflicted? I have removed it and reinstalled from brew but still getting unknown option errors..

Also, is it normal that mkcert --help output doesn't contain the important -install option!?

Usage: mkcert [options] [command]

Options:
  -V, --version                             output the version number
  -h, --help                                display help for command

Commands:
  create-ca [options]
  create-cert|create-certificate [options]
  help [command]                            display help for command

I have 466 certificates on my machine, I don't even know where to start 😅

Your mkcert is not the mkcert from this project. You should close this issue and install the mkcert from this project, thanks!

I also had this problem (yes, with this project) and switching into zsh before running mkcert -install worked for me.
