Install gettext GNU tools with Homebrew using Terminal

  1. Install Homebrew : /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
  2. Install GNU gettext : brew install gettext
  3. Create symlink : brew link gettext --force


If you try running link gettext --force it warns you:

Note that doing so can interfere with building software.

The safest way to use it is to add gettext binary to your path:

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gettext/bin:$PATH"


First make dir in root project folder with name locale then run

sudo apt install gettext
