ntfs-3g doesn't recognize macFUSE 4.0.5 ?

[tausend sassa]

Hi, when I tried to install ntfs-3g as described in the FAQ

https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/wiki/NTFS-3G#installation

... I ran into the following:

Terminal:

brew install ntfs-3g
Updating Homebrew...
ntfs-3g: FUSE for macOS is required for this software. OsxfuseRequirement unsatisfied!
You can install the necessary cask with:
  brew install --cask osxfuse
You can download from:
  https://osxfuse.github.io/
Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.

I did have the newest version 4.0.5 from this website installed though! https://osxfuse.github.io/

I then deleted it via the settings Panel, and installed "--cask osxfuse" via Homebrew, which turns out to be 3.11.2.

Also during installing it said

Warning: ntfs-3g has been deprecated because it requires FUSE!

I'm a bit worried because so many things seem to have been installed. Did this go alright? It seems to work, i can mount and read&write on the ntfs drive.

Is ntfs-3g actually being further maintained? what does this warning mean?

I'm also asking cause I'd like to help out documenting / extending the FAQ / ...

coming more from an end-user perspective maybe I can do my part there. ;)

Also, is there a version with a mini GUI planned ? This should be not too complicated for the most basic and mainly used operations, for example r&w accesss on a bootcamp partition on a Mac, i guess?

A little programm which also explains a little bit to the end-user would be sth good 4 the world...!

thanks for the work and cheers

Hi there,

OSXFUSE is a low level user space file implementation library. Neither ntfs-3g nor Homebrew is supported by OSXFUSE and you should follow up with those projects. 

Cheers,

Sam
