Installation via pip on mac #43

Closed nucle0tides closed 6 years ago

Installation via pip fails when trying to install the pygobject dependency.

nucle0tides commented 6 years ago

running sudo pip3 install tomaty worked but i don't....like that for obvious reasons

To get it running on Mac it also looks like you will have to install several things via Homebrew. 

brew install pygobject3
brew install pygtk
brew install gtk+3

You also have to point to where libffi.pc lives 

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/libffi/3.2.1/lib/pkgconfig/

where 3.2.1 is whatever version of libffi you have installed.

dependencies aside, if you are getting sudo related errors, try: pip3 install --user tomaty and see if it gives you the same privilege errors?

That part of your issue might be related to your pyenv setup. I got those when they weren't expected and had to mess with my .profile setup.

I might have accidentally installed your package globally with sudo. Press F for respect.

Thanks for documenting, I'll give an update when I next update the README a la #29
