Trying to run the script on OSX 10.13 (High Sierra) to install a testing VM of Catalina (then later update to Big Sur/Monterey with recommended "tweaks" as highlighted elsewhere on this board). I have spent the whole day installing all the necessary dependencies it asks for (via HomeBrew): coreutils, wget, gzip, and unzip. Have done reinstalls multiple times as well. Have added gnubin folder to PATH. Have added other folders with HomeBrew-installed utilities to PATH. Have even added all of usr/local/opt to PATH. Still get an exit when running the script, as though it is not finding them. Am I doing something wrong?

MacBook-Pro:macos-virtualbox-master me$ /usr/local/bin/bash -i macos-guest-virtualbox.sh
Push-button installer of macOS on VirtualBox
This script installs only open-source software and unmodified Apple binaries,
and requires about 50GB of available storage, of which 25GB are for temporary
installation files that may be deleted when the script is finished.
The script interacts with the virtual machine twice, please do not interact
with the virtual machine manually before the script is finished.
Documentation about optional configuration, iCloud and iMessage connectivity,
resuming the script by stages, and other topics can be viewed with the
following command:

Please make sure the following packages are installed
and that they are of the version specified or newer:
coreutils 8.22 wget 1.14 gzip 1.5 unzip 6.0
Please make sure the coreutils and gzip packages are the GNU variant.
Latest HomeBrew coreutils is version 9.1 so I most definitely have higher than 8.22. Latest wget reads as 1.21. Running unzip --version returns
UnZip 6.00 of 20 April 2009, by Info-ZIP. Maintained by C. Spieler. Send

Now when I run gzip --version I get "Apple gzip 272". When I cd all the way into /usr/local/opt/gzip/bin (for the HomeBrew version) and run ./gzip --version I get
gzip 1.12

So these GNU programs are installed, but for some reason the script is not acknowledging that they are. Is there something else I need to do to get it to recognize these dependencies so that the script can continue and I can install a VM?
EDIT: OK, I figured it out: In my .bash_profile I had added the directories after $PATH rather than in front of them, i.e.
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/opt/gzip/bin"
Reversing the location in all my entries worked i.e.
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gzip/bin:$PATH"
I can't remember where I saw the first order recommended (StackExchange I think?) but anyway reversing it was what did the trick.
