Hey there, I have problems to install the Topics Explorer on Mac OSX. I updated Java, allowed al processes by hand in the settings, but the program doesnt still run. Can someone help me?

Hi @pweil02,

are you running the source code or the standalone application? Which version of macOS are you using? Can you give some more details on the exact behavior?

severinsimmler commented 4 years ago

This might be related to https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/4466.

Since Apple has tightened the security regulations with macOS Catalina (10.15) for software to be executed, the Topics Explorer can currently only be used with macOS 10.14 or earlier.

As a temporary workaraound you could install the application from source. You need Python 3.6 and have to run:

$ pip install pipenv --user
$ pipenv install
$ pipenv run python topicsexplorer.py

running on python 3.8, this worked for me:

pip install cophi pip install lda python topicsexplorer.py
