Squirrel Installation Fix and Setup | Generated by AI

Home 2026.05

The brew cask already fetched the file (v1.1.2) but failed on sudo. I can’t enter your macOS password from the agent. Here’s the two-line install you need to run in your own terminal:

brew install --cask squirrel

It will prompt for your macOS password — that’s normal for .pkg installers.

If brew already cached it and refuses to re-download, clear the cache first:

brew reinstall --cask squirrel

After install:

  1. Log out and log back in (or restart) — macOS needs a fresh login to pick up the new input method.
  2. Go to System Settings → Keyboard → Text Input → Edit → click + → find “Squirrel” (鼠须管) → add it.
  3. Press Ctrl+` or click the input method icon in the menu bar to switch to Squirrel.

Then I’ll help you configure double pinyin and the rime-ice dictionary. Want me to set up the config files once Squirrel is installed?
