How can I install GNU Parallel alongside Moreutils?












7















Homebrew has a formula for moreutils and GNU parallel.



GNU Parallel conflicts with Moreutils since it also has a binary called parallel, which is just less useful. However I'd still like to install both formulae at the same time. How can I do that?



Ideally, I'd install GNU Parallel as gparallel – akin to the naming of the Coreutils binaries – to avoid these conflicts, but I don't see a way to specify that in the formula itself, since prefix is just the Homebrew prefix.



def install                                                                                                                               
system "./configure", "--prefix=#{prefix}"
system "make install"
end


Any way to get the best of both worlds?

  • Are you aware that certain features of GNU Parallel depends on the program being called parallel?

  • No, I wasn't. Could you explain what these are? (Also, why is there a configuration option that lets you change this so easily?)

You have to install a third-party version of the formula:



brew install slhck/moreutils/moreutils --without-parallel


Then:



brew install parallel

    brew still complained Error: Cannot install parallel because conflicting formulae are installed. The second command should be brew install parallel --force.
