Installing SSHPASS

SSHPass is a tiny utility, which allows you to provide the ssh password without using the prompt. This will very helpful for scripting. SSHPass is not good to use in multi-user environment. If you use SSHPass on your development machine, it don't do anything evil.

Installing on Ubuntu

apt-get install sshpass

Installing on OS X

Installing on OS X is tricky, since there is no official build for it. Before you get started, you need install xcode and command line tools.

Installing with Homebrew

Homebrew does not allow you to install sshpass by default. But you can use the following unofficial brew package for that.

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kadwanev/bigboybrew/master/Library/Formula/sshpass.rb

Installing from the Source

  • Download the Source Code
  • Extract it and cd into the directory
  • ./configure
  • sudo make install

@esolitos jumping in and tried your solution with a new error

brew tap esolitos/ipa
brew install sshpass

Error: Permission denied @ apply2files - /usr/local/lib/node_modules/serverless/node_modules/term-size/vendor/macos/.DS_Store

Edit: seems like it didn't cause any problems. Trying to retap and install results in Warning: esolitos/ipa/sshpass 1.06 is already installed and up-to-date so likely good to go. Thanks for the help

Hi @rjmaomao, you can try using the tap i created for this:

If anybody cares i created a brew tap to provide it:

$ brew tap esolitos/ipa
$ brew install sshpass

Done.

Hi @esolitos , I didn't expect to receive an answer so quickly, thank you very much. I found an article from google mentioned following tap, tried it and worked. I guess should be same as the tap you created? May I ask how can I upgrade sshpass if I installed it through tap and there's new version ?

Some years have passed and there is now a proper Homebrew Tap for sshpass, maintained by Aleks Hudochenkov. To install sshpass from this tap, run: brew install hudochenkov/sshpass/sshpass

thanks! it works. brew install hudochenkov/sshpass/sshpass

I wish Thumbs-Up wasn't disabled, so one could find the one(s) that works quicker.

I just updated to sshpass 1.09 and added a very simple test to ensure the installation of sshpass, since a few comments reported a failure in installing.

@u0x01 M1 user here, update to macOS Monterey 12.3 and the curl issue is solved.
I successfully install the sshpass.

Confirmed, that upgrading to Monterey 12.3 from 12.1 solved the issue.

@MrSitnikov Did you follow this step?

[..] Before you get started, you need install xcode and command line tools.

@esolitos Yes, it is installed, but the version is 14.0.1, not 14.1 and is not updated, it says that the latest version is installed
