How to install sshpass on Mac?

I would like to automate ssh login from my Mac.

It does have a simple solution:

sshpass -p my_password ssh m_username@hostname

But my problem is installing sshpass on my Mac.

There are instructions on how to install sshpass here:

For Mac you will need to install xcode and command line tools then use the unofficial Homewbrew command:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kadwanev/bigboybrew/master/Library/Formula/sshpass.rb > sshpass.rb && brew install sshpass.rb && rm sshpass.rb

Some years have passed and there is now a proper Homebrew Tap for sshpass, maintained by Aleks Hudochenkov. To install sshpass from this tap, run:

brew install hudochenkov/sshpass/sshpass

Another option in 2020 is this homebrew tap, maintained by esolitos

brew install esolitos/ipa/sshpass

Solution provided by lukesUbuntu from github works for me:

Just use brew

$ brew install http://git.io/sshpass.rb

Following worked for me

curl -O -L  https://sourceforge.net/projects/sshpass/files/sshpass/1.06/sshpass-1.06.tar.gz && tar xvzf sshpass-1.06.tar.gz
cd sshpass-1.06/
./configure
sudo make install
