Forgive me if it is somewhere else, but I cannot find him.
I am trying to install NTFS-3G on OS X 10.11 (El Capitan).
I follow the process at this link
But the step for installing NTFS-3G reports:
$ brew install homebrew/fuse/ntfs-3g Warning: homebrew/fuse/ntfs-3g-2015.3.14 already installed, it just not linked
So...
How easy is it to bind an installed item?
How to do this, how to complete the installation process? Is there anything that the brew install ... "process will do after binding?
EDIT: Following bfontaine ... I get:
$ brew link homebrew/fuse/ntfs-3g Linking /usr/local/Cellar/ntfs-3g/2015.3.14... Error: Could not symlink share/doc/ntfs-3g/README Target /usr/local/share/doc/ntfs-3g/README already exists. You may want to remove it: rm '/usr/local/share/doc/ntfs-3g/README' To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files: brew link --overwrite ntfs-3g To list all files that would be deleted: brew link --overwrite --dry-run ntfs-3g $ brew link --overwrite homebrew/fuse/ntfs-3g Linking /usr/local/Cellar/ntfs-3g/2015.3.14... Error: Could not symlink share/doc/ntfs-3g/README /usr/local/share/doc/ntfs-3g is not writable.
Am I going to the pit? If I brew remove, will it clean everything up, or will I have to manually clean it?
It gets dirty ...
EDIT2: Output brew link --overwrite -dry-run:
