Help setting up KOS on macOS

[thalukas]

Hi, I'm new to all of this and have learning how to code, please be kind. I'm try to use the script to install KOS on my machine, macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G65)

My first attempt...

$ sh kos_setup_script.sh
tar: Unrecognized archive format
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

Attempt 2, In the script I updated zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz to lib-1.2.11.tar.gz, and I got these message

Please install pkg-config.
Please install wget.

Attempt 3, installed pkg-config & wget via homebrew

Warning: jpeg 9c is already installed, it's just not linked
You can use `brew link jpeg` to link this version.
Warning: libpng 1.6.35 is already installed, it's just not linked
You can use `brew link libpng` to link this version.

Error: Could not symlink bin/cjpeg

already exists. You may want to remove it:
  rm '/usr/local/bin/cjpeg'

To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
  brew link --overwrite jpeg

To list all files that would be deleted:
  brew link --overwrite --dry-run jpeg

Attempt 4, per KingCrazy suggestion, I removed all the files and got this...

Warning: jpeg 9c is already installed and up-to-date
To reinstall 9c, run `brew reinstall jpeg`

Conclusion: Per KingCrazy & lerabot suggestion, I'm switching to VM/Linux...

Hello!~
I seem to remember having issues getting KOS installed on Mac awhile back when I tried! It was a pain in the butt for some reason... @~@; I remember there was always something that would throw an error after letting it go for almost an hour.

I'm no expert on this, and I hope someone else might come along and correct me with a better solution, but I can give it a shot!

It might sound silly, but did you try running

Code: Select all

rm '/usr/local/bin/cjpeg'

To remove it and let KOS install its own? Though it does seem kinda weird it doesn't just skip over things if they already exist... But if that's what it's suggesting, then I'd just follow what it says. ^^

If you're not dead-set on using Mac, what I'd personally recommend (and what I've done myself in the past few days on my own High Sierra machine) is getting Ubuntu and installing it as a virtual machine with VirtualBox. A lot of the tutorials around here are geared towards Linux, and while most translate to Mac (since it's also a UNIX-like environment), there's a lot of packages they'll expect you to have that Mac doesn't already come installed with (or doesn't support, meaning you'll have to find alternatives). It ends up being a pain in the butt to get everything working sometimes.

However, if you're more comfortable with Mac, then definitely stick with what you know! No sense in trying to learn an entirely new environment just for this.

+1 for doing it in a VM/Linux.

Just from a tool/tutorial perspective, it's just much better. Otherwise go on windows, a bunch of people use that too.

Thanks guys, switching over to VM/Linux

[KingCrazy]

No problem! Hope it works out.

Just to follow up, I tried installing KOS on my own Macbook this morning and ran into some errors, myself. I seem to remember this happening when I tried before on Mac. The KOS toolchain installs for a good 30~40 minutes and then returns some error, even when you have "wget" and other requirements. Didn't have this issue installing it on Ubuntu, or while running Cygwin/MSYS2 on my Windows machine.

Anyway, best of luck with installing everything! Feel free to stop by if you have any other questions about installing or using KOS!
