Closed mohitvdx closed 9 months ago

mohitvdx commented 9 months ago

Currently, the documentation only have instructions to run this on ubuntu or debian or fedora systems.

Add documentation to install it on MacOS

chimosky commented 9 months ago

We currently don't have a means of running sugar directly on MacOS, you can run sugar in a vm on MacOS and it should work fine.

I'll close this issue as it's not a priority at the moment and the existing documentation does offer a means to run Sugar on MacOS, not just directly as I'm guessing that's what you're referring to.

If you'd like to work on running Sugar on MacOS how you intend to then by all means do.

You can get Sugarizer app for macOS, a JavaScript reimplementation of Sugar that does not act as a desktop environment replacement. https://sugarizer.org/

Running Sugarizer App for macOS gives this error.

Is there some way to run the sugar development environment in macos? I desired to contribute to sugar activities @quozl

https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer is where Sugarizer is developed. That doesn't look like an error, but a normal code signing prompt.

Yes, you could run a virtual machine and inside that run Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, or some other Linux. You can then configure XCode or VSCode to reach into the virtual machine.
