Clarifications on installation instructions #12

Open chinitadelrey opened 6 years ago

chinitadelrey commented 6 years ago

1) recommended instructions - go get https gives an error is there something we should do to avoid this error? 

go get https://github.com/cpacia/BitcoinCash-Wallet
package https:/github.com/cpacia/BitcoinCash-Wallet: "https://" not allowed in import path

Ended up manually using go get on all the dependencies to get the above error message in part 1.

2) Installer file - How should we run the installer file for Darwin? there is no extension. I tried setting .dmg, but it gave an unreadable error.

For macOSX from terminal you chmod +x filename then execute it from terminal by typing ./filename

bitcoincash-darwin-10.6-amd64

╭─ imac@iMacs-iMac  OSX  ~/Downloads  ╰─ chmod +x bitcoincash-darwin-10.6-amd64

╭─ imac@iMacs-iMac  OSX  ~/Downloads  ╰─ ./bitcoincash-darwin-10.6-amd64 Then it will execute from the current terminal window. If you want, you can drag the wallet onto the Desktop or into Applications folder and then right click > open with > Enable: All applications > Utilities > Terminal It is critical that you select always open with, or it will just ask if you want to approve the developer and not open because it doesnt know you want to open it with Terminal again.
