There might be a problem with main.sh script?

[apeir-n]

I'm running Void Linux. I was initially unable to connect pywalfox to the firefox, and I was looking in the browser console, and it seemed to be failing in main.sh. The script in the distribution looks like this:

!/usr/bin/env bash

 Checks OS Version Number
macOS=$(sw_vers -productVersion)
if [[ ${#macOS} > 0  ]]; then
    PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin"
    pywalfox start
fi

python -m pywalfox start || python3 -m pywalfox start || python2.7 -m pywalfox start || python3.9 -m pywalfox start

It couldn't find sw_vers obviously, but the pywalfox commands were failing when they were trying to be run by the various python interpreters. But there's already a shebang pointing to python in the actual pywalfox executable file, so I commented everything out and replaced it with /home/$USER/.local/bin/pywalfox start and it worked fine.

Maybe it's because I used pipx instead of pip, since pip is always such a chore to use for me for some reason. The shebang in pywalfox is #!/home/[my user]/.local/share/pipx/venvs/pywalfox/bin/python, which itself is a symlink to /usr/bin/python3.13. But in any case, calling the pywalfox executable with the python interpreter seemed to be the problem, I'm assuming because the shebang was already taking care of calling the interpreter.

I am running Debian 13 on my machine, also have installed pywalfox via pipx and had a similar issue that I fixed by appending

/home/$USER/.local/share/pipx/venvs/pywalfox/bin/python -m pywalfox start

To the bottom of main.sh and it fixed the issue for me.
