Trying to install sshpass on macOS by executing brew install sshpass I get stuck with the following message:
Warning: No available formula with the name "sshpass". Did you mean sshs?
We won't add sshpass because it makes it too easy for novice SSH users to
ruin SSH's security.
But there is another way to make it work. Let’s see how to install sshpass on macOS.
