MacOS installer not working #714

Closed emm312 closed 4 months ago

emm312 commented 4 months ago

Prerequisites

KiKit version

1.5.1

KiCAD version

8.0.4

Operating system

MacOS

Description

I have installed kikit on macos with the script and it runs on the cli, but when I open pcbnew it gives me the 'KiKit backend not found' error. Other issues suggest something is wrong with the install script but I have verified that it uses the fixes mentioned in them.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install KiCad via brew
  2. Install KiKit via the PCM (I tried reinstalling it after to no avail)
  3. Install the KiKit backend with the guide on the website

Could you try it again with the new 1.6.0 release? I believe eac56affe51dc7c99e426bc7b02e88b5e1d8b115 should fix this.

Oh yeah I forgot to say, I pip install'd the upstream version and it worked perfectly! I needed to use sudo and pass the -U flag
