How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

I wanted to install AnythinLLM on my MBP using Homebrew, resulting in an error due to SHA mismatch:

 brew install --cask anythingllm
==> Downloading https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/public.useanything.com/latest/AnythingLLMDesktop-Silicon.dmg
################################################################################################################################### 100.0%
Error: SHA256 mismatch
Expected: c596e2e121ab10c12b4b0ab2156e00300cbf5e7954c62b7009a70f049deb18c8
  Actual: 096bff3430f0dc9d3fe585205d36d08a0e6b20758fd7c5acdc37641b9b90b3b5
    File: /Users/xyz/Library/Caches/Homebrew/downloads/7cc866ab69c401d5283a88bf9e255969d8a4126bbcac211d9c035d40f3b22632--AnythingLLMDesktop-Silicon.dmg
To retry an incomplete download, remove the file above.

This may be caused by referring the latest version instead of a specific version in the brew formulae.

My system: macOS 14.5 on Apple Silicon M1, Homebrew 4.3.14

Are there known steps to reproduce?

Simply run a brew install --cask anythingllm in you macOS shell.

We dont maintain that cask, someone else in the community does and I do not know how to contact them or update the file for it so we can control its content. :(

All we do it upload to our bucket - somehow that cask will auto-update, not sure how that whole process works

In this case I don't understand why the installation using Homebrew is mentioned in the documentation:

https://docs.anythingllm.com/installation/desktop/macos#install-using-homebrew

Because someone in the community built it and had PR'd it to the old docs and we ported it to the new docs - the top of that page has downloading the DMG as the first method, the other are alternatives.

Maybe we can add a warning on that option since that is not the preferred method, but in the interim you could just use any other method, you are not confined to homebrew
