Compatibility with Mac #14

Closed lingnand closed 6 years ago

Hi,

First of all thanks for this wonderful project! (I'm into architecture and this seems to be the perfect opportunity to get involved)

I don't have much experience with Rhino (haven't really used it before actually), so bear with me if I'm asking beginner questions. I use Mac and tried out Rhino to run this project, but apparently the list of plugins required by Wren are not totally compatible with Mac Rhino.

Things that succeeded

Human

Things that failed

elefront

Is there any way to work around this problem? Or my best chance is to install Windows?

Hi,

Sadly it doesn’t work with MAC OS. Back in April I have tried my best without any success. I ended up installing Windows 10 on External SSD with bootcamp on my MAC.

I would go with Windows.

Cheers,

Piyush

Thanks Piyush, I guess there's no other way then; I might still give Parallel Desktop a try just in case.

One of the idea I had is to get rid of the dependacies and update the script such that It will work on MAC but requires little more work and anticipated.

I think the main problem is probably elefront - do you want to upload the script to the repo and let me & others see if we can make it Mac-compliant?

Re elefront, I was hoping there is some way to contribute and make it Mac-compliant, but I didn't find a way (it seems to be developed by individuals behind the doors).
