zsh terminal error

brew might be installed. I see that in his .bashrc, one of the components that he was trying to add to his PATH

export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin:/usr/local/bin:/System/Cryptexes/App/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/bootstrap/usr/local/bin:/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/bootstrap/usr/bin:/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/bootstrap/usr/appleinternal/bin:/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin -
autoload -U +X bashcompinit && bashcompinit
complete -o nospace -C /opt/homebrew/bin/terraform terraform

was

/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin

The error message from zsh complained about the text following the first non-escaped space. That was the text that included the homebrew directory names. So they never got added to the working PATH.

If the OP edits the .bashrc to include backslashes (as so), then exits Terminal and restarts it (to get a new shell that's started up with the revised .bashrc), zsh might stop complaining and the command may work.

/Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin

[Sorry for the double post. I hit 'Post' by mistake, then the forum software told me I'd have to wait to save any updates.]

Looks like the OP is trying to install an Open Source tool called Terraform on his Mac, using the Homebrew package manager. It also looks like he has an error in his .zshrc (shell initialization script) file, and/or is attempting to run this Homebrew without having installed it first.

Now as to why he wants to install Terraform, ask him…

Please start from the beginning and describe what it is you want to do. Avoid The XY Problem.

Why are you opening Terminal. Start with that.

Terraforming I presume.

brew is not installed (obviously)...
