No Clue on Mac OS Sierra #11

Closed dJunkyKode closed 6 years ago

dJunkyKode commented 6 years ago

I've tried for a long hour to use the Mac version but have no clue how to get it working. My back up file is on: "/Users/cisco/Desktop/e"

So am I supposed to open the terminal app and paste this: "./wpress_extractor /Users/cisco/Desktop/e/backup.wpress" ?

All I see is the "No such file or directory" message

Can some please tell me in simple step by step instructions how to open this on a Mac?

You could just move the wpress_extractor to the directory which contains the backup.wpress file then simply run the extractor in a terminal with ./wpress_extractor backup.wpress

just drag and drop the files into the terinal. First drag wpress_extractor.dms to the terminal and after that drag the compressed file and press enter. It will start uncompressing the file in the same directory where the file wpress_extractor.dms is.

Thank you for the answers.. I ended up installing MAMP locally and importing the .wpress file. After that I went to the "htdocs" folder and got the files I needed.
