How to install bandcamp-desktop onto macOS Catalina? #25

Hi! Sorry for the stupid question but I am new to Github:

How do I install bandcamp-desktop onto macOS? I have tried to make the .AppImage executable but with no success...

Hi, don't worry no question is stupid! The latest version of Bandcamp Desktop is distributed as deb, AppImage and exe. The first twos work only on GNU/Linux, instead the exe works on Windows. I decided to don't publish the dmg installer for Mac OS since it has some problems running on Big Sur. I suggest you to build the application from source following the instructions given in the README.md. The python script which I have written should do that automatically (see "Build from the master branch" paragraph).

Thanks for your answer! It did not work at first, till I typed the commands "pip" and "python" as "pip3" and "python3". But atm it seems to be working as it is downloading. Cheers!
