I’m trying to install Shopify CLI on Mac.
I’ve done:
brew tap shopify/shopify
brew install shopify-cli
When I run: shopify version I get the bellow error.
AI-generated summary
Installation of Shopify CLI on macOS via Homebrew led to an error when running “shopify version” (error screenshot referenced).
Resolution and key updates:
- Use Shopify CLI 2 (not 3) for theme development.
- Update Ruby to version 3.1.2 to ensure compatibility.
- Run commands with the “shopify2” binary (e.g., “shopify2 theme push”).
Notes:
- Shopify CLI is the command-line tool for Shopify; the v2 binary is named “shopify2”.
- The exact error details aren’t provided beyond a screenshot, but switching to CLI v2 and updating Ruby resolved the issue.
Outcome: Issue resolved; no further action requested and no ongoing disagreements.
Solved.
I needed to install Shopify CLI 2 (not 3) for themes and update Ruby to 3.1.2
