Pasting an export line into a shell profile was the lazy answer. This links odhub into a directory already on the PATH, preferring one the person owns so most machines need no password.

What: Getting
odhubonto thePATHmeant pasting anexportline into a shell profile. There is now an Install Command Line Tool item in the app menu, which retitles itself to Remove or Repair from what is on disk. It linksodhubinto a directory already on thePATH, preferring one the person already owns (/opt/homebrew/bin,~/.local/bin,~/bin) over/usr/local/bin, so on a developer Mac with Homebrew it needs no password at all. Where it does need one, our own dialog explains why before macOS asks, and offers to copy the command instead. The README follows.Which directories are on the
PATHcomes from the login shell, not this process: an app started by launchd has a minimalPATHthat says nothing about where a person keeps their tools.
