Get mtr working on the Mac

Install ðŸ”—

Not sure why the brew doesn’t work as it used to, but here’s how to get it working:

brew install mtr
sudo ln /usr/local/Cellar/mtr/0.92/sbin/mtr /usr/local/bin/mtr
sudo ln /usr/local/Cellar/mtr/0.92/sbin/mtr-packet /usr/local/bin/mtr-packet

(If you don’t do the two symbolic links (ln) you’ll get mtr: command not found or mtr: Failure to start mtr-packet: Invalid argument)

Run ðŸ”— 

sudo mtr google.com
