Originally created by @etanol85 on GitHub (Mar 23, 2018).

Trying to run dehydrated on an older (mac os x) system I'm running into this error:
dehydrated: line 10: set: pipefail: invalid option name

Output of bash -x dehydrated -c

+ set -e
+ set -u
+ set -o pipefail
 dehydrated: line 10: set: pipefail: invalid option name

Bash version is
GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release (powerpc-apple-darwin8.0)

On another Mac OS machine with a more recent bash version
GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin10.0)
I do not get this error.

Is there any workaround for this?

brew install bash

This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Many thanks, this (bash 4.4.) solved the issue!

Out of interest I just googled when pipefail was introduced. It seems it was introduced with bash version 3 which was released July 2004. Wow. But okay, you are running a powerpc setup, so I guess it's quite an old OS X version.

Installing bash from brew or ports definitively is the best solution for this, but I'm kinda wondering if the pre-installed zsh would work with dehydrated... mhm...

Thanks, yes this is Mac OS 10.4 i think that Mac OS X 10.5.8 still can run on PPC and comes standard with BASH 3.2.17 so in that case that could work out of the box.

FIY I tried the preinstalled zsh with "zsh ./dehydrated -v" and that did not work either:
./dehydrated:set:10: no such option: pipefail
./dehydrated:764: parse error near `local'

Thanks again!
