[BUG] Not working on MacOS

[nilskasseckert]

Hi,

the program is not working on MacOS. If I download it, is has no File-Extension. The file extension ".app" and ".pkg" does not work.

What is the correct extension and way to execute it?

Regards,
Nils

Hi Nils,

what happens if you double-click the file? Do you get an error? Does it open in a text editor?

What should work: Try opening a Terminal in the directory where you downloaded "impftermin-macos" and run ./impftermin-macos.

Hi @quinn-dev ,

yes the text editor opens after I accept that I want to execute software from a non secure developer.

I will try to run it via Terminal.

Would also be interested how you run it. We might need a section in the readme for that then..

With terminal this also does not work.

Without sudo:
./impftermin-macos zsh: permission denied: ./impftermin-macos

With sudo:
sudo: ./impftermin-macos: command not found

[marcoklein]

Could you try adding execution rights with chmod +x ./impftermin-macos?

Thank you, I totally forgot. But if I start the program the following error occurs. The empty config file was created.

Manual config creation works. Thanks!

Thank you, I totally forgot. But if I start the program the following error occurs. The empty config file was created.

Which version have you downloaded? Every version since 1.3.0 features an interactive CLI to generate the config file.

Could you try out if renaming the downloaded file to impftermin.command makes it executable by double-click?

PR #21 adds instructions on how to run the application on linux and mac.
