Writing a test step

[jrock2004]

Whats your thought on writing a test step which checks that certain things are installed and in the right place?

testInstall() {
  if test ! "$(command -v brew)"; then
    echo "Brew is not installed"
    exit 1
  fi
}

I like that and have a few checks around, but for some of the bigger things like brew, it's assuming the install script has been run which does install those. Could you give an example?

I guess where I was coming from was that, sometimes install something fails but the install continues. I have had issues where python is not installed or something else is missing in the path

Ooh, yeah! I've been thinking about the idea of a health check script, similar to the :checkhealth command in neovim.

@jrock2004 I added a start to a script like this over at #160. Let me know what you think and if you can think of other things that might be worth checking in such a script. Thanks again for the idea!
