magneticod installation instructions don't work for OS X

[jbshirk]

starting with where the installation is... I don't know.

Hello,

can you please a little bit elaborate more on where you got stuck? magnetico is designed and tested on GNU/Linux and OS X has never been in the list honestly, but I think it should just work fine. I would be happy to help. =)

Me too. Typing "magneticod" says command not found. I've got python3.5 running with "python3". pip3 list shows:

jamie$ pip3 list
DEPRECATION: The default format will switch to columns in the future. You can use --format=(legacy|columns) (or define a format=(legacy|columns) in your pip.conf under the [list] section) to disable this warning.
appdirs (1.4.3)
magneticod (0.1.0)
pip (9.0.1)
setuptools (28.8.0)

I think the problem is that it installed to /Users/jamie/Library/Python/3.5/lib/python/site-packages/magneticod

And maybe, it's .bash_profile and not .bash_rc on Mac, but I'm not smart enough to figure out how to fix the path export thing. My complete .bash_rc file is:

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin
PATH=/usr/local/opt/ruby193/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin
export PATH=/Users/jamie/.node/bin:$PATH

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*

# Setting PATH for Python 3.5
# The original version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH

PATH=/Users/jamie/Library/Python/3.5/lib/python/site-packages

I added that last line, thinking it might help, but no luck.

Thanks!

The installation worked for me. Use

PATH="${PATH}:${HOME}/Library/Python/3.5/bin/"
export PATH

in your .profile.

However, magneticod requires a small patch to work correctly:

diff --git a/magneticod/magneticod/bittorrent.py b/magneticod/magneticod/bittorrent.py

I plan to submit this as a PR soon. Submitted and merged #16 containing the above patch.

Fantastic, that worked for me, thanks @nneonneo !

Fixed in v0.2.0. =) Though, documentation needs to updated. Updated!

The installation worked for me. Use

PATH="${PATH}:${HOME}/Library/Python/3.5/bin/" export PATH

in your .profile.

The instructions should say where .profile is so that it can be edited.

When I do:

MacBook-Pro-3:~ joe$ pwd
/Users/joe
MacBook-Pro-3:~ joe$ ls -la .profile
ls: .profile: No such file or directory
MacBook-Pro-3:~ joe$ 

I cannot continue.

where I initially got stuck:

starting with where the installation is... I don't know.

Neither the instructions nor installer say WHERE the magneticod is installed. I was not able to find it in the usual places. Thank goodness that whatever changes were made led to the export path working, and magneticod starting.

Hi Guys, I'm a total noob at this. Can someone give me step by step instructions on what to type in mac os x terminal to install this?
