Can't seem to install e2fsprogs properly I'm following a tutorial requiring me to use mke2fs. I found that I could install it by brew using brew install e2fsprogs

Tthis returned the following: 

This formula is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local.

This brew installs several commands which override OS X-provided file system commands.

Generally there are no consequences of this for you. If you build your
own software and it requires this formula, you'll need to add to your
build variables:

    LDFLAGS:  -L/usr/local/opt/e2fsprogs/lib
    CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/e2fsprogs/include

==&gt; Summary
  /usr/local/Cellar/e2fsprogs/1.42.13: 135 files, 5.0M


So i tried using brew link e2fsprogs which then returned 119 symlinks created

But the command mke2fs is still not available. Anyone who can throw me a bone here?
Usually brew executables (except brew itself) are linked to /usr/local/bin/ which is in the PATH already.

Since e2fsprogs executables are also installed to a subsequent sbin folder, force linking them with brew ln --force e2fsprogs will create a new folder /usr/local/sbin which contains the links to the sbins.

This new folder is not in the PATH. Simply add or extend an already existing  line 

export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:$PATH


in ~/.bash_profile.

To update PATH in your current Terminal session immediately, simply enter:

source ~/.bash_profile


Or close your Terminal window and open a new one.
