OS X Terminal hangs installing vNext KVM after run

Question

I'm trying to install vNext on my Macbook but when I run source kvm.sh the terminal just hangs.

---

My setup:

• OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks)
• Mono 3.10.0

---

My problem:
I followed the instructions for installing vNext on OS X from the GitHub repo:
https://github.com/aspnet/Home

Essentially:

• brew tap aspnet/k
• brew install kvm
• source kvm.sh

Everything seems to go fine until the step where I run source kvm.sh, which hangs the terminal with a message "[Process completed]".

Adding source kvm.sh to ~/.zshrc file starts the terminal and immediately hangs it once that runs.

---

What I've tried:
I uninstalled kvm (brew uninstall kvm) and aspnet/k (brew untap aspnet/k) and deleted the directory ~/.kre, then tried reinstalling it all again.

No luck.

Any ideas? Here's a screenshot:

Answer 1

The kvm currently not working in ZSH, Running it under /bin/bash should work quite well.

Also, make sure you remove anything to do with kvm from your .zshrc file and you should be good to go again.

Answer 2

according to https://github.com/aspnet/kvm/issues/83 , you can replace the kvm.sh file with the version from dev branch, which can be found under https://github.com/aspnet/kvm/blob/dev/src/kvm.sh , and zsh should be happy with it afterwards.

Worked for me.
