I try to use Beyond Compare with Sourcetree (Mac), but its fail

I try to use Beyond Compare with Sourcetree (Mac M1), but it failed, I downloaded a free 30-trial version (Current Version: 4.4.3, build 26655, released July 20, 2022), .zip was downloaded, I unzipped it, and moved .app file to the applications folder. Then I opened SourceTree and went to the preferences->Diff->MergeTool->BeyoundCompare(from a dropdown list) and I get an error dialog that says

Beyond Compare was not found on your system, please make sure you install it before trying to use this tool.

I tried to restart the mac, however, it doesn't help

What am I missing here?

Solution

  • In Beyond Compare, select Beyond Compare > Install Command Line Tools from the menu. This enables the /usr/local/bin/bcomp and /usr/local/bin/bcompare symlinks that are used to launch Beyond Compare from Terminal and from other applications.
