Installation on macOS

a-hurst edited this page Feb 15, 2020 · 4 revisions

KLibs has been tested as working with versions of macOS from 10.9 to 10.14, but it should work on versions as early as 10.6 provided all the dependencies are installed.

Dependencies

To install and run properly, KLibs requires a functioning install of Git. If you do not already have a version installed on your Mac (run git --version in a Terminal window to check), you can install it by downloading and running the official Git installer.

You will also need a working version of Python 2.7 or 3.5+. Although recent versions of macOS come pre-installed with an older copy of Python 2.7, we highly recommend installing a fresh version of either 2.7 or 3.7 from Python.org or with the package manager of your choice (e.g. Homebrew or MacPorts).

Installation

Once Python and Git have been installed, you can then install KLibs using the pip package manager by running the following in a Terminal window:

pip install -U git+https://github.com/a-hurst/klibs.git@testing

Note: If you are installing KLibs with Python 3, you will need to replace pip with pip3 in the above command.
