When I'm trying to use the client.start("stockfish") command, it just gives me an error saying that it cannot run the program "stockfish" as there is no such file or directory. I have stockfish installed in my command line and I can use it inside the terminal. I am using a Macbook M1 Pro if that helps.

Thanks

Another thing to add is when I type in client.start("test"); instead of client.start("stockfish"); it gives me no error but does not display anything.

@WillGoldthwaite you need to have stockfish in the path. Otherwise you will need to give it the full path to the executable.

The UCI protocol doesn't show a "go bestmove" command but your software uses this command. Is "go bestmove" a valid UCI command?
