however when I try to install xen-api-sdk dependency as given in second step

I get this error

 Detecting depexts using flags: x86_64 osx homebrew

Also, I have this command

 opam install -y --deps-only xen-api-sdk

I get the following error

[ERROR] No package named xen-api-sdk found

Also this package is not available at opam repository store

Answer 1

I was missing the intermediate step which was to install xs-opam using command below

opam repo add xs-opam https://github.com/xapi-project/xs-opam.git

now running opam depext -y xen-api-sdk will give you success
