Install instructions for MacOS Catalina don't work #412

Closed fracturedsoftware closed 4 years ago

fracturedsoftware commented 4 years ago

I tried to install HomeGenie on a Mac with no luck. Mono 6.8.0.123 is installed.

After downloading homegenie_1.3-stable.10.tgz the first problem is that the actual instructions to start the server appear to be wrong. The instructions say to:

cd homegenie ./startup.sh

but there is no script at this location. The script appears to be in the DEBIAN folder instead. I did the following instead:

cd homegenie/DEBIAN ./startup.sh

and a script started but all I get is a stream of mono errors:

sudo: /usr/local/bin/mono: command not found

I looked in that directory and there is no mono alias.

At that point I gave up.

Try:

cd homegenie
mono HomeGenie.exe
