Installing upx on macOS

by on Mar.01, 2022, under News

UPX (Ultimate Packer for Executables) is an open source executable packer supporting a number of file formats from different operating systems. It was first released back in 1998.

Nowadays it also supports macOS. I chose to install it via Homebrew, a package manager for macOS:

$ brew install upx

In rare occasions we may get an error message reading:

Error: upx: no bottle available!

We can work around this as follows:

$ brew install –build-from-source upx
