Provide a homebrew formula for OSX #577

Open wakatara opened 4 years ago

wakatara commented 4 years ago

Few people use macports these days in favour of homebrew.

Would it be possible to have a formula for Next. I do believe it would perhaps increase the community size trying or contributing amongst the applerati.

Not from our developer side: we don't have anyone on the team who's using OSX, so we can't make and test homebrew formulas ourselves :)

Just wanted to chiming in to say a homebrew port which tackles the GTK+ issue (without installing XQuartz!) would be fantabulous!.

I"m sure it'd help to give this super-promising browser a larger target audience!

I haven't been able to get Nyxt running via Mac Ports + X code.

Any one have an updated HomeBrew formula?

:)

We're making progress on the official macOS port... teaser... Screenshot_20230922_114629

jmercouris commented 1 year ago

what you see there is running on Electron :-O

DieracDelta commented 1 year ago

Woah!! Is this running on macos? Or linux?

jtw023 commented 1 year ago

Any chance an official MacOS port will be working soon? I would love to try it! :)

aartaka commented 1 year ago

Someone made the MacPorts package to work recently, IIRC.

jtw023 commented 1 year ago

Unfortunately, I can only use homebrew on this device.

@jmercouris are you able to provide another update on the internal conversations and progress around a MacOS brew installation. I'm very excited (as I know others are too) about trying nyxt out on MacOS

VisenDev commented 2 months ago

I would also like to install nyxt using homebrew

danrasmuson commented 1 month ago

@aadcg do you have clarity around the roadmap for MacOS support? I appreciate any comments here.

From my experimentation installing on mac, webkitgtk+ is the main bottleneck. The macports install works because they figured out a way to compile webkitgtk+ on mac from source, but this takes several hours.

Once the electron backend is fully working, installing on macos should be relatively easy

@jmercouris

So the macOS version is using a totally different software stack?
