when running dcli install on some linux systems it fails with:

I am encountering this on mac, which /usr/bin/stat is stat [-FLnq] [-f format | -l | -r | -s | -x] [-t timefmt] [file ...]

In this case gstat is likely needed from brew.

Yes I found the same issue on a gcloud instance just last week.

I'm going to see if I can replace it with a posix call.

This issue has now been resolved on both linux and macos. We are now using the posix api stat rather than spawning the stat command.
