Clipboard installed successfully! Configuration
This application has support for multiple languages that will modify the usage of the application itself.
Instead $ cb copy fileName for copying a file into the cliboard, if your locale are set in Spanish for example the command will be $cb copiar fileName
If you want to modify it you just need to create a new environment variable with the desired locale value:
$ vim .zshrc
...
export CLIPBOARD_LOCALE=en_US.UTF-8 $ source .zshrc
