Hey I'm a beginner at command line stuff and despite the process looking straightforward, am having an issue getting massmine working. Here is what I am doing,

Download and running massmine> unzip massmine-1.4.0-OSX-11.zip Archive: massmine-1.4.0-OSX-11.zip creating: massmine/ inflating: massmine/massmine.link
inflating: massmine/massmine

Then I move into the massmine directory and try the "help" function to see if it's working but I get an error> cd massmine ./massmine --help and get this> dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/openssl@3/lib/libssl.3.dylib Referenced from: /Users/rrrivando/massmine/./massmine Reason: image not found Abort trap: 6

Any clue where I am going wrong? I get the same error when I just click on the massmine exec file and run it that way too. I have tried running this on 2 different Macs, one running High Sierra and the other Monterey.

Thanks.

I'm not surprised that OpenSSL is the culprit. Ever since Apple dropped support for this standard it's been a game of cat and mouse trying to make this library portable. One solution (though admittedly not command-line beginner friendly), is to try to install the OpenSSL library itself. The easiest way (the way I also use) is with Homebrew. If you haven't used Homebrew before, here's the two-step process:

  1. Install Homebrew (this is a one-line terminal command): Homebrew
  2. Install OpenSSL with Homebrew:
brew install openssl@3

If you're willing to take these additional steps, I suspect this will solve your problem. If not, hopefully I can figure out why OpenSSL isn't as portable as I had hoped.
