1. Note for macOS Ventura Beta!

In order to get Bash Beautify working on my Mac, I had to have both the python2 and python3 commands running on my Mac.

After installing pyenv via homebrew:

1

brew install pyenv

I tried to set my Python versions:

1
2

$ pyenv global 3.7.0 2.7.15
pyenv: version `3.7.0' not installed

Running the installation command produced the following error:

To fix it, I first selected the version I wanted to install with pyenv install --list. Then, I installed GCC from homebrew, and tried installing again, this time specifying the path to the C++ compiler.

I the following script, replace gcc-12 with a newer version if necessary. Type cd /opt/homebrew/bin/gcc<Press Tab key> in the Terminal and see what version you have installed.

brew install gcc
CC=/opt/homebrew/bin/gcc-12 pyenv install 3.8.12 
CC=/opt/homebrew/bin/gcc-12 pyenv install 2.7.18

Note for macOS Ventura Beta!

When running xcode-select --install you may face this error:

Can't install the software because it is not
currently available from the Software
Update server

To fix it, download command line tools from Apple’s More Downloads page on Apple Developer before running brew install gcc.

I then set them as the default python versions globally:

1

pyenv global 3.9.12 2.7.18

Done! Bash Beautify works in Visual Studio Code now.
