Did a real quick look around which you've probably seen already, but brew install openssl will probs give you OpenSSL 1.1 and looks like https://github.com/jborean93/omi / https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PSWSMan/2.2.0 was updated to tell it to look for 1.1 vs. 1.0 on OSX.

Have you considered a fork of the WSMan lib I've worked on that's distributed through the PSWSMan module. It replaces the builtin WSMan lib(s) to fix a whole bunch of problems that I've mentioned here https://github.com/jborean93/omi#changes-from-upstream-omi. It makes the Linux -> Windows connection through WSMan so much easier to use and fixes one of the fundamental problems the builtin WSMan lib has with HTTPS, no certificate verification.

The WSMan libs provided on Linux for PowerShell are quite troublesome but ultimately I've found that only Kerberos works properly which can be difficult to set up on Linux correctly. I've created a fork for this library which can be found under my omi repository. It fixes a whole bunch of issues with the provided library from PowerShell making it a lot easier to use. To install it you need to run the following as sudo

Then after you close and reopen PowerShell the new library is now used for any WSMan operations. You find find out more about this fork on https://github.com/jborean93/omi.

Before we start installing anything, if you are a Mac user, you need to install homebrew, a package manager for Mac that will help you install software quickly and easily from this article.

First, we are going to need Node.js. I use nodenv to manage multiple Node.js installations on my machine. The easiest way to install it on a Mac is to use Homebrew (check their Installation documentation if you’re on a different platform):

Homebrew - The Missing Package Manager for macOS (or Linux)

Homebrew is a highly popular package manager on macOS and Linux systems, enabling users to easily install, update, and uninstall command-line tools and applications. Its design philosophy focuses on simplifying the software installation process on macOS, eliminating the need for manual downloads and compilations of software packages.

Package Manager: Homebrew

Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.

Are you using SQLite that ships with macOS, or SQLite installed from homebrew?

I had a different problem in the past with the SQLite that ships with macOS, and have been using SQLite from homebrew since.

So if it’s the one that comes with macOS that gives you this problem that you are having, try using SQLite from homebrew instead.

Before we begin, make sure you have Homebrew installed on your Mac. Homebrew is a package manager that makes it easy to install software and dependencies. You can install Homebrew by following the instructions on their website: https://brew.sh/

I’m on MacOS and erlang.org, elixir-lang.org, and postgresql.org all suggest installation via Homebrew, which is a very popular package manager for MacOS.
