Self-hosted package installation fail

🐛 Bug Report

I'm having trouble installing SuperTokens. I'm trying to install the self-hosted version on my MacBook with an M2 chip. I run ".install" and see the download process, but it crashes with the following log.

I think this may be related to the Apple Silicon because I previously installed it successfully on my Intel MacBook.

Useful informations

Thats probably correct. We can investigate when we have time. In the meantime, you could try using our docker image instead.

TLDR : before running the installation script, run

sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin

Hey,

I encountered the same issue on mac M3. The interesting part of the log is :
io.supertokens.cli.commandHandler.install.InstallHandler.createSupertokensScript(InstallHandler.java:146)

The createSupertokensScript method calls getSupertokensScriptLocation to know where to create the supertokens script file depending on the running OS. For mac we have this condition :

else if (OperatingSystem.getOS() == OperatingSystem.OS.MAC) {
    return "/usr/local/bin/supertokens";
} 

We then try to create the supertokens script under /usr/local/bin. But it appears that after a fresh install of MacOS, this "bin" directory does not necessary exist. So the you just have to create it before running the installation script and everything will be ok :)
