Unable to run on MacOS

[waipeng]

After getting through the MacOS security messages, I get the following

“Python.framework” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.

Sonoma 14.7.1 (23H222) on Apple M1

This is the trace

I couldn't figure out how to proceed. Do you think this is a MacOS issue or PyInstaller issue? Is there a way to run it without using the prepackaged Python?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks! 😄

Unfortunately I have no experience with MacOS and had added the binaries for some other folks working on MacOS. But yes, you can of course run gitcache from source. In summary, you have to

• Install all pip requirements. The requirements are located in pip_deps and can be installed with pip install -r pip_deps/<file>. Here you have to pick the right one matching your python version. I would guess something like pip_deps/requirements-darwin-py3.12.4.txt.
• Test if you can execute src/gitcache now by calling it like src/gitcache --help. You should see no error about missing modules.
• Now you can follow the usual installation steps, but instead of using the pyInstaller binary use the script. Just remember that the script should not be moved alone, otherwise it won't be able to find its modules.

Interesting... Try to run:

xattr -cr /Users/jake/Applications/gitcache_v1.0.18_Darwin_arm64

This is to clear the quarantine attribute for the file downloaded from web.
