Mac installation error

[gdunshea]

Hello,

I have tried to install the .pkg file on two seperate intel macs. One double clicking the icon a message appears saying "pipecraft can't be installed on this computer".

That's as far as I can get....

Sorry for the long delay, so a couple of things you could try:

1. Try installing the pkg by right-clicking and open instead of double-clicking on the installer
2. You could also try installing pipecraft pkg via terminal: installer -pkg pipecraft_1.0.0.pkg
   If you are still experiencing difficulties installing pipecraft maybe you could share any errors that might have popped up in while trying to installi via terminal.

Hi,

I just saw a colleague that reminded me of this :)

here is the error installing with terminal:

(base) glennd@NTNU-C02CF30GMD6R Downloads % installer -pkg pipecraft_1.0.0.pkg
installer: Error -target parameter required
Usage: installer [-help] [-dominfo] [-volinfo] [-pkginfo] [-allowUntrusted] [-dumplog]
[-verbose | -verboseR] [-vers] [-config] [-plist]
[-file ] [-lang ] [-listiso]
[-showChoicesXML] [-applyChoiceChangesXML ]
[-showChoicesAfterApplyingChangesXML ]
-pkg
-target <[DomainKey|MountPoint]>

Looks like the following error is hindering the installation:
installer: Error -target parameter required.

Usually on MacOS apps are either installed in /Applications or /usr/bin

So try out one of the following commands:

installer -pkg pipecraft_1.0.0.pkg -target /Applications

or

installer -pkg pipecraft_1.0.0.pkg -target /usr/bin

Also running the command with sudo and using the -allowUntrusted flag might be useful.
