It does **not** affect the installation. Your app/CLI is correctly installed. To suppress it:\n\n```bash\nxcode-select --install\n```\n\n**`kMDItemVersion` returns null for Alter.app**: This is a Spotlight indexing delay, not a missing version. The version is correctly set in `Info.plist`:\n\n```bash\n# Verify version directly\ndefaults read /Applications/Alter.app/Contents/Info.plist CFBundleShortVersionString\n# Expected: 1.11.1\n```\n\n**\"Only 1 cask found\"**: The tap contains 3 products across 2 directories. Use `brew search alter` after `brew tap VISIALIS/alter` to see all available packages. If your Homebrew installation has issues, try reinstalling it first (see below).\n\n**Desktop conflicts with App Store version**: Uninstall one before installing the other.\n\n```bash\n# Check current installation source\ncodesign -dv /Applications/Alter.app 2\u003e\u00261 | grep Authority\n```\n\n**MCP not visible in Claude**: Restart Claude Desktop (Cmd+Q, reopen).\n\n**Linux PATH issue**:\n```bash\necho 'eval \"$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)\"' \u003e\u003e ~/.bashrc\nsource ~/.bashrc\n```\n\n**Broken system Homebrew (Ruby crash, permission errors)**: If your system Homebrew is corrupted, reinstall it:\n\n```bash\n/bin/bash -c \"$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)\"\n```\n\n## Support\n\n- Report issues: [github.com/VISIALIS/homebrew-alter/issues](https://github.com/VISIALIS/homebrew-alter/issues)\n- Project source: [github.com/VISIALIS/phoenix_0](https://github.com/VISIALIS/phoenix_0)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvisialis%2Fhomebrew-alter","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fvisialis%2Fhomebrew-alter","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvisialis%2Fhomebrew-alter/lists"}
