homebrew-vd is a Homebrew tap for convenient installation and updating of VisiData on MacOS/X.

If you are looking for installation instructions for VisData on OSes in the Linux family, they are available here.

Troubleshooting

No module named X errors

While core VisiData comes with out-of-the-box support for csv, json, sqlite, tsv, xlsx, urls, and lxml, VisiData has many more loaders. We do not install all of the dependencies for them.

Additional dependencies will need to be installed into VisiData's Homebrew environment:

/path/to/homebrew/Cellar/visidata/{ver}/libexec/bin/pip3 install {dependency}
