How to Install Flycut on Mac

Follow these steps to install Flycut using Homebrew, the most popular package manager for macOS. This works on both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs.

  1. 1

    Open Terminal

    Launch Terminal from your Applications > Utilities folder, or press Cmd + Space and type "Terminal".

  2. 2

    Install Homebrew

    If you don't have Homebrew yet, paste the install script from brew.sh into Terminal and follow the prompts.

  3. 3

    Run brew install --cask flycut

    Paste the following command into Terminal and press Enter:

    brew install --cask flycut
  4. 4

    Verify Installation

    Run `brew list` to confirm flycut is installed, then try `flycut --version` to check the version number.

    Launch Flycut

Troubleshooting

  • • If you see a permission error, try prefixing the command with sudo.
