Unable to run Mac version #73

Closed TophatE closed 2 years ago

TophatE commented 2 years ago

Of course, once again, the pain sets in as I can not figure out how to run the mac version with python, and using the command in the installation leaves me with an error that no Pesturchum.py file exists.

saddddd

Dpeta commented 2 years ago

Assuming the command you mean is python3 pesterchum.py, that's for running from source. You can just download the source code option assuming you have Python and Pesterchum's dependencies. To actually try to run the mac build you just need to open the file called "pesterchum".

The mac build does seem to be broken again though </3

TophatE commented 2 years ago

Unfortunately yeah. . The pesturchum file is actually a document file, so opening it just opens textedit sadly.

Dpeta commented 2 years ago

It is definitely an executable, not sure why that's the default file association

Dpeta commented 2 years ago

Regardless of the build though, you should just be able to run from source if you already have Python, just do something like:

  1. Download and extract https://github.com/Dpeta/pesterchum-alt-servers/archive/refs/tags/v2.2.zip (source code)
  2. Run python3 -m pip install pygame PyQt5 feedparser python-magic requests to install the dependencies.
  3. Run cd /folder/ to move the terminal to the folder where you extracted the zip.
  4. Run python3 pesterchum.py or just pesterchum.py

Nvm that actually, the new build should work as long as you have at least macOS Catalina :3 https://github.com/Dpeta/pesterchum-alt-servers/releases/tag/v2.2

The new build WORKS! Let's GOOOO! Tysm!
