Hello Since the big rename of k to dnx I have no idea how to install the tools on my mac?

the documentation on the dev branch has not been updated to reflect the big rename

The homebrew-k was updated recently to support dnvm. Here the instructions:

  • Install Homebrew if it is not already installed.
  • Run command brew tap aspnet/k to tap the ASP.NET 5 related git repositories. If you had already tapped the repo for previous releases, run brew untap aspnet/k to delete the old commands and tap again to get the updated brew scripts
  • Run command brew install dnvm to install dnvm. This will automatically install the latest DNX package from https://www.nuget.org/api/v2 feed
  • Run command source dnvm.sh on your terminal if your terminal cannot understand dnvm

EDIT

Homebrew-K was renamed to Homebrew-dnx so now you should use 

brew tap aspnet/dnx

If you tapped aspnet/k it is probably not a bad idea to untap it (brew untap aspnet/k) and update brew (brew update)

    Should the tap be renamed to dnx? – Madu Alikor Apr 01 '15 at 20:02

    Possibly. At the moment it contains formulas for both kvm and dnx. Once dnx officially replaces kvm and the kvm formula goes away it would be a good time to rename. – Pawel Apr 01 '15 at 20:11

    @MaduAlikor - your dreams came true - the tap was renamed to dnx. – Pawel Apr 28 '15 at 17:34

    @Pawel followed this but still getting that `k` and `kpm` commands are not found. Is that somewhere else now? – AndrewS Apr 28 '15 at 19:52

    @AndrewS - have you done the `source` thing (source `dnvm.sh` or source `kvm.sh`) depending on which one you want to use (hint kvm is going away soon)? – Pawel Apr 29 '15 at 14:52

    @Pawel yeah, got that sorted out. [All the `k` commands are now `d` commands, e.g. `kpm build` => `dnu build`](https://github.com/OmniSharp/Kulture/issues/28#issuecomment-97198228). – AndrewS Apr 29 '15 at 15:51

    yeah. I was not sure if the scripts were not added to your profile or you were using old commands... – Pawel Apr 29 '15 at 16:15
  • Life saver! They should put your 4th instruction in the setup page. – Youssef Moawad Apr 30 '15 at 16:58
  • @YoussefSami I believe the formula tells you to run `source dnvm.sh` after you install dnvm. – Pawel Apr 30 '15 at 17:46
