On a fresh installation of TextMate 2 the mate command will not install.

The TextMate > Preferences > Terminal > Install button does nothing.

Am I correct in assuming that the mate executable should be somewhere in the app bundle? I think it used to be TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/mate.

I have tried downloading several prebuilt binaries and each fails the same way.

  • Have you tried running "locate mate.app" in the terminal? – Kale Muscarella Sep 09 '12 at 04:06
  • The 'mate' executable is not likely to have a .app extension, as that is a designation for an application bundle, as far as I know. You can look an /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/PrivilegedTool to see an example of an executable that has no extension. Locate mate does not find the file I am trying to find. – John Sep 09 '12 at 05:57

To search for the file, use the following command.

find /Applications/Textmate2.app -name "mate"

It should indeed be in /Applications/TextMate2.app/Contents/Resources/mate Got my binary from here: https://github.com/textmate/textmate
