Hi, is there any Installer for scan tailor advanced, on OS X Catalina ? I've been trying to install it for 3 weeks now and everything unsuccessful. The yb85 gives me a make error. I was wondering does Catalina OSX make advanced scantailor impossibleto have?

I am not very technical but I scan a lot of books and was hoping to use scan tailor again.

Thankyou very much for any help

What do you think about using Docker so you can run the latest version of ScanTailor Advanced in Ubuntu?

I am also on macOS and had many issues with the install file so am running ScanTailor Advanced in a Docker container, I can write up my instructions and share the Dockerfile I'm using to build the containers.

@ jeremydmoore Thankyou kindly. I got it to work by using the bleeding edge version of the ScanTailor advance. Stable version did not install for me. No idea why... as not technical enough.

@seasaltseasalt Haha, I think it's great you got the bleeding edge version working, but you don't think you're technical enough to fix the stable version 😄 It doesn't make sense, but I did the same thing. I think it was easier to start fresh with the bleeding edge version than try to understand where the stable version was crashing.

I will create a repository with my Dockerfile and instructions once I get the production work done I needed ScanTailor for. My method using Docker should allow ScanTailor Advance's use on any operating system and I load in a Default Settings file with my preferred choices for each step.

One of the things I didn't like about running ScanTailor natively in macOS (vs using Docker) was I couldn't open up more than one ScanTailor instance for processing at a time. Using Docker, I can spin up multiple ScanTailor instances that all attach to the same Docker build (so they all have the same settings and only need to create one build to save storage space).
