Re: Frecobaldi 2 Mac OS X install guide

[Andrew Bernard]

Aha!

A couple of things. I am principally a heavy Linux user, so I have skipped the step to make an installer, preferring to run from the command line. After clearing out a previous manual attempt to install frescobaldi for mac a few months ago, I found this:

You need to add python sip to the system:

sudo port install py27-sip

Next, the frescobaldi executable is a shell script, having the first line:

#!/usr/bin/python

That's not we what we want and the source of all the 'not found' errors, if you are using macports.

Running this works:

/opt/local/bin/python frescobaldi

Alternatively one could therefore just edit the #! line in the script.

This works, having followed all the other instructions on github.
