Works great, thanks!

[Shakti]

Looks great.

 

I'm a super newbie dev and I'm having trouble installing it. I tried compressing it into a "Archive.alfredworkflow" file but only part of the flow appeared.

 

I'd like to try "composer install" or "git clone" but I don't know what folder I need to be in inside Iterm. 

Thanks,
Chris

You shouldn't do that as a rule. Why didn't you download the .alfredworkflow file from the download link posted in the OP?

 

Also, that is the whole workflow. It's not possible for a workflow to get corrupted in such a way that it still installs, but half of its elements are missing.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

 

What's the "OP"?  

 

I've been going to this link" https://github.com/ibnuh/alfred-character-counter-workflow and downloading the file and, I just don't know what to do with it? There is no .alfredworkflow file in there and when I compress and rename it, it only half works, but it won't count the characters.  

 

I can't figure out how to use an alfred workflow from github.

I have upgraded to Monterey and this workflow along with another that uses a PHP script has stopped working.
I have PHP installed via Homebrew and this should be ok according to this article.

Anyone else come across this or know how to get it updated/working again?

[TUpton98]

For anyone else coming across this issue. The solution was to add 

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/local/bin:${PATH}"

 to the top of the script in the Alfred Worfklow.

or, you can use this version that doesn't need PHP

Much appreciated, @giovanni. Your non-PHP version worked perfectly for me. Kudos to you and @ibnuh. This workflow will save me a tiny bit of time every day.
