Did this while installing Azure CLI on my Mac.

At install time this had a dependency on Python 3.10 that I tried to resolve using the version 3.10.11 that was installed via Pyenv. Could not get this to work so uninstalled 3.10.11 via Pyenv, did a pyenv rehash, and then installed 3.10.11 directly via Homebrew: brew install [email protected]

I then set up Pyenv to be able to use this new version via a variation of the instructions found here. This required some changes though because the symlinks weren't right in the example given because I wanted the specific version of Python installed via Homebrew. If I wanted python3 in my PATH without needing Pyenv the install would have been brew install python3 which likely would have meant the symlink setup below would have been different.

This is what I had to do.

1. cd ~/.pyenv/versions
2. `ln -sfv "$(brew --prefix pyt

Once in awhile I'll get an error when Time Machine is trying to run backups while my Mac is locked (problem goes away when it's not). Trying to find out why that happens has always been a bit of a pain but this command will help:

log show --predicate 'subsystem == "com.apple.TimeMachine"' --info | grep "Operation not permitted"

or more generally

log show --predicate 'subsystem == "com.apple.TimeMachine"' --info | grep error

Apple has been getting a bit carried away with limiting what users can run on their Macs. This is under the guise of security. This is due to the operating system setting a quarantine bit on downloads from random websites. When you launch the app it will report that there is a security problem with the download and will offer to let you move the application to the trash.

Don't do that. Do this:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <filename>

Note: you need the Open AI Chat-compatible endpoint URL (see below)

1. Generate an API key here https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/api-key
2. Set up BYOM on Leo

• Label: whatever you want
• Model request name: gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25
• Server endpoint: https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/openai/chat/completions
• API key: obvious

I left context size at the default value.
