How to install sshpass on macOS / OS X

sshpass is a command-line utility that allows you to provide a password for an SSH login on the command-line, rather than being prompted for it interactively.

Here's an example of how to install sshpass on macOS/OS X:

1. Install Homebrew: The easiest way to install sshpass on macOS/OS X is by using the package manager Homebrew. If you don't have Homebrew installed, you can install it by running the following command in your terminal:

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

1. Install sshpass: Once you have Homebrew installed, you can use it to install sshpass by running the following command:

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

1. Verify the installation: To verify that sshpass is installed correctly, you can run the command sshpass -V and check the version number that is displayed.

rnPlease note that these commands are for a basic setup and they will install the latest version available of sshpass, also before installing any package it's recommended to have a backup plan in case something goes wrong, and also to test the installation before applying it to your production environment.

Also, it's worth noting that macOS/OS X comes with a specific version of the system libraries, so you might need to configure your sshpass installation accordingly. Additionally, the process of installing sshpass may differ depending on the specific version of macOS/OS X that you are running.
