Modding:Installing SMAPI on Mac: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 02:11, 31 October 2018

This page explains how to install SMAPI (the tool which lets you use mods) on MacOS. See also:

Install

Install the "stable channel" version of Mono. (If this doesn't work, see Troubleshooting.)
Download SMAPI.
Open the Zip file you downloaded in the previous step to extract its contents.
Open Terminal, and then enter the following command:

mdfind -0 'kMDItemFSName = "install on Mac.command" && kMDItemContentType = "com.apple.terminal.shell-script"' | xargs -0 xattr -d com.apple.quarantine
In Finder, open the file install on Mac.command, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

That's it! Just launch the game to play with mods. You don't need to change your Steam launch options (that's only needed on Windows).

Note:

Step 4 is necessary because, by default, Gatekeeper will prevent you from opening unsigned script files downloaded via the Internet.
To open Terminal, open Launchpad, type Terminal, and then press return.
You must reinstall Mono whenever you update macOS.

To install manually instead, see instructions in the installer's readme.

Update

Just install the new version; the installer will automatically clean up previous versions.

Uninstall

Open the file install on Mac.command.
Choose to uninstall SMAPI.
