updates：PINEntry not installed correctly

PINEntry not installed correctly
Applications that require an admin password to install will fail to install.

what should i do？

[milanvarady]

From troubleshooting:

Pinentry is the tool used to securely request the admin password from the user. The password is needed because some applications require it to complete the installation. Most applications can be installed without Pinentry. Applite will try to install Pinentry every time you open Applite or try to download an application that has a .pkg installer.
If you keep getting this error, you can try to install Pinentry manually. Open the Terminal. And paste this into it:

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/Library/Application Support/Applite/homebrew/bin"; /usr/bin/env brew install pinentry-mac

Press Enter to run it. This will attempt to install Pinentry manually.

Edit: Fix command

no folder /usr/bin/env

Oh, sorry. The example I provided was wrong. Use this instead:

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/Library/Application Support/Applite/homebrew/bin"; /usr/bin/env brew install pinentry-mac

Opened up Applite only to see this issue, wasn't there before despite installing multiple apps over the last few days.

I'm still having this warning after restarting my Macbook, pasting what @milanvarady sent into Terminal only leads to "env: brew: No such file or directory".

I also have this problem How to solve it?

[milanvarady]

I'm planning to replace PINEntry completely with a better solution. Right now it works in a really convoluted way and I want to make it better. I can't give an ETA on when this will be implemented, but hopefully I'll have time to do it in the next two months or so.

Ok Sitandwait

It looks like PINEntry is installed. I think the problem is that Applite can't access it for some reason. Maybe it is some permission error. You could try checking if Applite is enabled under Automation in System Settings.
