wiki:ASAPOSXInstall

OSX 10.4 instructions

These instructions are valid for only intel based Macs.

If you have followed these instructions for a previous version of asap you can skip steps a) to d). Just run step e) to see that those are working.

Download and install the following components

a) http://www.pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/dmg/python-2.4.4-macosx2006-10-18.dmg

b) http://www.pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/dmg/numpy-1.0.1-py2.4-macosx10.4-2006-12-12.dmg

c) http://www.pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/dmg/matplotlib-0.87.7-py2.4-macosx10.4-2006-12-12.dmg

After the GUI install, check

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc

You may have to replace "WxAgg" with "TkAgg" (edit as root or sudo)

Alternatively you could download:

http://www.pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/dmg/wxPython2.6-osx-unicode-2.6.3.3-universal10.4-py2.4.dmg

NOTE The python installer sets up a correct environment for the current user. Re-login to get the new system configuration (or just start a new xterm). Otherwise the old version of python is used.

d) http://ipython.scipy.org/dist/ipython-0.8.1.tar.gz

   tar zxf ipython-0.8.1.tar.gz
   cd ipython-0.8.1
   sudo python setup.py install

e) run

   ipython -pylab

   plot(range(10))

to see if everything is working. This will generate font warnings - ignore these. Exit ipython ( control-d ).

f)

   tar jxf asap-2.3.1-macos10.4.tar.bz2
   cd asap-2.3.1-macos10.4.tar.bz2
   sudo ./install
   # run asap once, to make sure $HOME/.asap is not installed as root
   asap
   sudo asap_update_data

g) after this start asap by typing

   asap

you might have to run (only once)

   %upgrade
