I use fzf today.

brew install fzf

and I add export in ~/.bash_profile

export FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND="fd --exclude={.git,.idea,.vscode,.sass-cache,node_modules,build} --type f"
export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS="--height 40% --layout=reverse --preview '(highlight -O ansi {} || cat {}) 2> /dev/null | head -500'"

and then

source ~/.bash_profile

And then use fzf
It's show this error

     [$FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND failed]

and the preview configuration is work, but the default command is failed.

And I remove that line from the bash_profile, or reinstall the fzf it still failed.

How did you install fd? Can you check it is working properly?
I tried to reproduce the issue here, it worked under fish and not under bash and zsh, so I realized that my $PATH wasn't properly configured to include the fd binary. After I fixed that the command is working in all three shells.

I install fd by brew
It work after I removed the configuration from .bash_profile, and add it to .zshrc
