With HomeBrew ready to go, all you have to do is type into the Terminal: When HomeBrew is happy with your configuration, it will tell you: I had to clear up a couple of issues straight off the bat, but there wasn't anything that a quick google search couldn't handle. This command will inform you of any problems or irregularities found in your existing setup. But as HomeBrew itself will tell you once it's installed, you should run brew doctor from the Terminal before attempting any new package installation. Once you've done that, you are ready to install git. The HomeBrew installation page provides a Terminal string which you can use to install HomeBrew. The only downside is you have to get HomeBrew set up in the first place, but in the long run it'll save a lot of time. This saves you following instructions to set up each individual package you want to use, and potentially making common configuration mistakes. A package manager helps you install things quickly and easily using a standard configuration (directory structure, file paths etc). I'm already used to using a package manager called NuGet for Visual Studio, and so I'm well-versed in the benefits. A quick glance at some of the Terminal commands it gives you will give you a sense of what it does for you (the Mac 'console' is called Terminal). HomeBrew is a console-based package manager which vastly simplifies and standardizes the setup process for developer / admin utilities and software (such as git). However, since I will be using openFrameworks, and it's addons are almost exclusively delivered in git, it makes sense to tackle that upfront, and install git now.Īgain, taking Gene's advice, I first installed HomeBrew. Being as I am a brand-new convert to a brand new Mac, I didn't yet have git (or much else) installed. You'll notice from the readme (scroll down) that there are two ways to install - with git or without git. (EDIT: I've now switched to Stephen Lumenta's TextMate bundle, similar, but more up-to-date.) To control SC 3.5 from TextMate, you'll need to install the SC TextMate bundle from Rob Watson, which gives you syntax highlighting and SC control from within TextMate. There are a few hoops you have to jump (or ought to jump?) when setting this up, so in this post I want to explain the process I went through - how to get TextMate to talk to SC from the perspective of an ex-Windows user. I took Gene's advice (I've been doing that a lot recently) and installed TextMate. The TextMate logoīut editing in the SC window isn't much fun - you really need a decent code editor / file manager / syntax highlighter.
Once it's in your Applications folder you're good to go. Installing SC on a Mac is really easy - it's just a regular. My new Mac arrived and one of the first things I wanted to do was set up SuperCollider (SC).
