I am currently running a newly installed copy of MacOS Sierra and noticed that while running the command resize -s 24 86 term says resize: command not found

I have tried running brew install resize

Even brew's repository does not have it

Expected: The term window should resize to 86x24

Actual: Resize: command not found

resize is a utility written for xterm, and is commonly bundled with that program. If you install XQuartz, you'll have resize.

All of brew's X-related packages depend upon XQuartz, so you'd have to start there anyway.

  • Very well, I totally forgot that mac doesn't come shipped with X-Quartz and yeah it makes sense since resize command effects the GUI, so it should be a part of X-Quartz. Thanks. Now I feel happy and embarrassed at the same time. – Pranshu Ranakoti Jan 24 '19 at 09:40
