How to install OCLint in mac os x

Question

I'm trying to install OCLint in my mac with MAC OS X mavericks Its documentation here says that

*Following code snippet is an example for the .bashrc or .bash_profile file that is sourced when terminal launches.*

OCLINT_HOME=/path/to/oclint-release
export PATH=$OCLINT_HOME/bin:$PATH

How can I accomplish this? whether I need to create .bashrc or .bash_profile file, or add to existing file. Where can I locate .bashrc or .bash_profile file

Answer 1

If you have a .bashrc in your home directory (i.e. /Users/yourname/.bashrc) already then just append these lines, otherwise create a new .bashrc containing these two lines. Then do this:

$ source ~/.bashrc

Install Oclint with Homebrew is quickly and helpful solution. Open terminal and install homebrew first:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Install Oclint 0.11.1 with this command

brew install https://gist.github.com/TonyAnhTran/e1522b93853c5a456b74/raw/2f440240fe99634771a3f2353c0c53a43c2d0fb2/oclint.rb

To create .bash_profile in terminal:

Type "cd ~/" to go to your home folder
Type "touch .bash_profile" to create your new file.
Edit .bash_profile with your favorite editor (or you can just type "open -e .bash_profile" to open it in TextEdit.
Type ". .bash_profile" to reload .bash_profile and update any functions you add.

Those files should be in your home directory, but they will be hidden by default due to the leading dot. You can enable the "Show all files" feature to see them in Finder. Or, if you're comfortable using the Terminal app, edit the files from the terminal and append the lines for OCLint.
