is there a Mac version?

is there a Mac version?

[giuspen]

Unfortunately there is not a Mac package/installer, I do not own a Mac so I need somebody else to take care of this

I am working on Mac package. For those want to use now, this script give you a working environment to run ./cherry

brew install gtk-mac-integration
brew install pygtksourceview
brew install dbus
brew install dbus-glib
pip install dubs-python
pip install pyenchant
pip install chardet

[casainho]

I just use CherryTree on Linux and Windows but this should be great for Mac users!!

[jackassplus]

I've been able to get cherrytree to work in Sierra, but it only works if the dbus plist is NOT loaded. (it complains about it, but works)

At least using the homebrew dbus, loading the dbus-session with launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

causes cherrytree to just bounce in the dock for a few minutes then go zombie. If it's not loaded, it seems to work fine.

[aviaryan]

@zmx Any progress with your work? People would love to have CherryTree on MacOS.

[jackassplus]

It ended up not really improving my workflow, so I've largely abandoned it in favor of plain ol' text files and grep. (I'm becoming more minimalist as time goes on it seems)

[peace-for-all]

I've installed it from github like this: git clone https://github.com/giuspen/cherrytree.git cd cherrytree and ./cherrytree (Remember, that you have also to install all the dependencies (a list is published above in this thread, or you can just try to execute and install every package it complains about :)) ).

Finally it works, like Linux version, but has much uglier interface. Any ideas how to deal with this?

[markaltmann]

Technically you have to set a proper GTK Theme for the app or the system. Additionally it should be feasible to build an app with cx freeze or so. I keep you updated here.

[alexBaiJW]

brew install gtk-mac-integration
brew install pygtksourceview
brew install dbus
brew install dbus-glib
pip install --index-url=http://pypi.python.org/simple --trusted-host pypi.python.org dbus-python
pip install --index-url=http://pypi.python.org/simple --trusted-host pypi.python.org pyenchant
pip install --index-url=http://pypi.python.org/simple --trusted-host pypi.python.org chardet

With the above commands, I got the ./cherrytree to work( which has much uglier interface), but I faild to open the files created with ubuntu, and the logs are as follows:

[GCHPX]

Are there any news about an upcoming version for the mac?

[giuspen]

After ongoing porting from pygtk (python) to gtkmm3 (c++) I will see if I can build/package for mac

[GCHPX]

Thank you very much for the Info! It would be realy great as CT is a very great tool!

[casainho]

I am not a MAC user but Linux intead. I can confirm CherryTree is afreat tool!!! I use all days and I even export to HTML and upload to github pages, for online documentation of aome OpenSpuce projects.

Would be happy to known that more users would join CherryTree.

[codingo]

@giuspen Wondering if you would like any testers to help in implementation? Would also love to see a quicker and more efficient way to get this going on OS/X.

[giuspen]

@codingo I would definitely need help in implementing because I know nothing about mac OS and I do not own a mac

[willc]

I can help test on Mac too.

[phillips321]

Get it working by following the steps here: Cherrytrre on MacOS

``` /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" brew install gtk-mac-integration pygtksourceview dbus dbus-glib wget unzip wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py sudo python get-pip.py sudo pip install dbus-python pyenchant chardet wget https://github.com/giuspen/cherrytree/archive/master.zip unzip master.zip mkdir -p /Users/${USER}/.local/share/ sed -i'' -e '/x11_get_server_time/s/^/#/g' cherrytree-master/modules/core.py wget http://sveinbjorn.org/files/software/platypus.zip unzip platypus.zip ```

[willc]

This actually worked the best of all the ways I've tried to get this working on a Mac. It's still not as good as a native Mac client, but it works well and looks good.

[ANDRIUS-D-ILGUNAS]

The instructions posted by phillips321 do work to install it on a mac, but when trying to save it as a password-protected file (either SQLite or XML), it errors out with: "Binary Executable '7za' Not Found, Check The Package 'p7zip-full' to be Installed Properly".

So I brew install p7zip, and restarted the App, but it still fails to find it (in /usr/local/bin/7za). I'm going to poke around and see if I can specify that path manually somewhere, or maybe symlink it in wherever cherry-tree is expecting it.

Edit: Oh, I found it in ./modules/cons.py: Line 42 change to SZA_PATH = "/usr/local/bin/7za", and re-compile the App again. Works great!

[willc]

Some of the other functionality doesn't work when using phillips321's method either, such as New Instance.

Hope we can still hope for a native Mac version some day.

[kaktusztea]

I was able to run it with the method by phillips321 (thanks for that!) but got a lot of pain - it was not so easy. I used virtualenv - created in Anaconda. I had to create a foo.pth (just extension is important) file under virtualenv's 'lib\python2.7\site-packages' dir and put this line in it: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Also needed to edit /Users/$USER/opt/cherrytree/modules/main.py and modify the header from this: import gtk to this

import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk

I use a Mac for a while now, but just in user level - I really hope Cherrytree will get an OSX port, this is the best note-taking app I know.

[kaktusztea]

Additional comment for the previous one: I could start CT only in Pycharm. Otherwise I got localization error:

[mn113]

I'm trying to install this myself as per phillips321's instructions, but can't get dbus-python installed.

During the pip install I kept getting Requested 'dbus-1 >= 1.6' but version of dbus is 1.2.16, even though I already had dbus-1.12.2 through homebrew.

Eventually figured out how to point it to the correct libs using export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/dbus/lib/pkgconfig, but the installation still errored with a missing libiconv.la I think.

I will give up for now, would love to see a self-contained application one day.

[ghost]

For me works well. In replaced the last 3 steps from Philip with LOCALE export via alias and alias for open and close .

@kaktusztea -- Just you need to export the locale and it works for me on Mac 10.12.6

[fladd]

While CherryTree can be installed with the instructions above, most things do not work (even simple things like "Insert Today's Node", "Insert Timestamp").

Some proper installation instructions for OS X would be very nice.

[willc]

@fladd There aren't any proper instructions because there is no supported or stable way of installing it on a Mac, unfortunately.

[FreddieOliveira]

Almost 3 years later and still no Mac version? Python2 will reach its end of life in a few months, if a code update to python3 is intended, please update it to support Mac too without these lot of workarounds

[sid374]

Does anyone have a good understanding of what needs to be done in order to have this working on a mac?

I can possible help with this and am curious if there's any research that I can utilize

[giuspen]

The future version is being developed in C++ and gtk3 under the folder 'future' of the cherrytree github repo, no longer python

[kaktusztea]

@giuspen: glad to hear about the C++ version. And is that mean, that it will be available on Mac as well?

[giuspen]

@kaktusztea producing a Mac build should be much easier, still I do not own a Mac and I hope somebody will help with that

[kaktusztea]

OK, thanks @giuspen!

[benjithereborn]

Solved I have a problem with the cherry tree on os x 14.1 and eventually someone can help my.

So i have followed the install instruction from the manual. (i skipped the optional part cuz this already had errors but i didn't felt like with bother it.) But ig i wanted to run it, it has the error "ImportError: No module named gtk", but when the C++ version drops in a year I can wait for in and use my linux vm.

What i tried I tried to install the gtk from the website but ther installation script isn't available anymore. I tried it on 5 different devices, even one with os x 11.6 but still the same error.

PS: You programm is fire even better than keep note.

found a gtk installer and this solved it. (littely after posting this, big uff.) https://sourceforge.net/projects/macpkg/files/PyGTK/2.24.0/PyGTK.pkg/download

[scuba-st3v3]

I recently updated some libraries and had an issue loading cherrytree (38.8). Prior to some of my pip upgrades I had it running fine on Mojave 10.14.6. Now I get this:

[txe]

Hi everyone, There is no bundle for now, but cherrytree C++ can be installed on Mac from source, the instruction is in future/README.md

[kencu]

This works:

sudo port -v install cherrytree

[kencu]

FYI -- I stumbled across CherryTree last week on Ubuntu, and thought MacOS should have it too. With MacPorts it took me less than 15 minutes of puttering to get it to load the dependencies, build, and install on all systems from 10.6 to 10.15. It was deployed to the main MacPorts repo a few days ago, and prebuilt binaries are ready to install on all systems.

The build file looks like this if you're curious.

[kencu]

Somewhat to my surprise, it even installs and runs quite nicely on MacOSX 10.4 Tiger PPC.

[txe]

Hi, thanks for work! Though I find it a bit ironic to finally get mac version for pygtk when gtk3 version almost comes out.

Still good work, I hope you will help with creating a port for C++ version (not now, it's still under testing)

[kencu]

Ok, the gtk3 version will be no problem, I think. Just have to change couple of digits in the Portfile. If the c++ version works out, we can use that as well.

I just discovered CherryTree, sorry :> Would have done this years ago for you.

[txe]

No worries, I still don't have mac :)

[kencu]

Dependencies can be unsettling! A lot of those are probably build dependencies for the default x11 windowmanager. I agree -- there is a lot.

You might try using the +quartz version, which likely has fewer dependencies.

sudo port -v install cherrytree +quartz

Some people prefer the quartz windowmanager, as it is more mac-like.

I hope it is not as intimidating.

Just so you know, almost all those build / run deps would be downloaded as completed binaries (ie you don't have to build them), and they are compartmentalized in /opt/local so they wouldn't interfere with any other software...

Any idea what could be causing it?

I got the same segfault.

So I've tried to run this using port myself and get the following error:

/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/init.py:57: GtkWarning: could not open display warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning) /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/share/cherrytree/modules/core.py:69: Warning: invalid (NULL) pointer instance self.window = gtk.Window()

This error mean that gtk can't find a window server to display to. It's been some years since I first installed x11, but it appears that the X11 window server is not installed automatically as a dependency of gtk. You could say it should be for new installations -- I will ask the honchos about that -- but there was a time when window servers came from various places, so I guess that's how it came to be like that.

The most current X11 window server available for MacOS is installed like this:

sudo port -v -N install xorg-server

and after you install it, there is a note that reminds you to do this:

  xinit has the following notes:
    To use MacPorts' X11 as the default server, install xorg-server, log out, and log back in.

dbus[77158]: Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!

This warning means the dbus daemon is not running. MacPorts doesn't run it without asking your permission. There was a note at some point during installation, here it is for you:

  dbus has the following notes:
    Startup items (named 'dbus-system, dbus-session') have been generated that will aid in starting dbus with launchd. They are disabled by
    default. Execute the following command to start them, and to cause them to launch at startup:

        sudo port load dbus

libc.prctl not available, the process name will be python and not cherrytree

this one is benign, just a message from cherrytree about the proc name

Please let me know if any troubles.

(Once you have the x11 subsystem set up, there are hundreds to thousands to x11 applications like CherryTree you can use with it, btw.)

@kencu Thanks a lot. I got it working now.

[kaktusztea]

It works for me as well. Thanks!

[telemote]

This works:

sudo port -v install cherrytree

It runs on my mac with this command but the font rending is not as sharp as in your picture. The font looks fuzzy and it hurt my eyes. How can I improve it?

[kencu]

Is it the font for the menus (File, Edit, Formatting..) or is it the font in cherrytree itself ("Projects, "SnowLeopard", etc)?

If it is the system font, you need to edit the system fonts using something like "gtk-chtheme" (sudo port -v install gtk-chtheme). You can also add and search for gtk themes --- here is one bundle "gnome-themes-extra" (sudo port -v install gnome-themes-extra).

If it is the fonts in cherrytree itself, you change those with ("Edit" -> "Preferences" -> "Font" ).

Good luck!
