MPF 0.56 macOS installation thread

[Brian Madden]

Hi Everyone,

You probably saw in this thread that I'm reworking the MPF installation process.

I have the raw steps for installation on macOS ready to go. I would love for people to try this if you're struggling to get MPF 0.56 (current dev branch) installed on your mac.

https://docs.missionpinball.org/en/latest/install/mac.html

These instructions are for macOS, probably around 10.15 or so, and newer. (tested locally on 12.5 and 12.6). These will only work with Python 3.9 currently.

This process is manual now which involves a lot of steps including manual downloads. Once we get it dialed-in, we'll update it and get the files in the proper locations so it's a more simple install.

Please post any mac-related installation issues/questions/problems here and we will work it out together. New Windows and Linux installers will be posted in the next few days as well. (I will create separate threads for them.)

Thanks!

Brian

[Howard F.]

Thank you. User friendly I hope with links if needed.

Hello!

I'm trying to install MPF on my Mac (running Monterey 12.4) and am following the instructions here: https://docs.missionpinball.org/en/latest/install/mac.html

I breezed through the first five steps (Python, Homebrew and pipx installed), but when I copy and paste the code to download MPF (pipx install mpf[all] --pip-args="--pre" --python $(which python3) --verbose --include-deps) I get:

zsh: no matches found: mpf[all]

I've also tried running sudo pipx install mpf[all] --pip-args="--pre" --python $(which python3) --verbose --include-deps and get the same result. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, is there a way to download the latest completed version of MPF, rather than the 0.56 dev version?

[Brian Madden]

typo on my end. Put quotes around "mpf[all]". I just updated the docs.

The latest completed (well, "completed" is not really accurate), but the latest non-dev version is 0.55 which you can install like you always have been able to. So you can follow those instructions which are the default versions that come up on the docs site here: https://docs.missionpinball.org/en/stable/install/index.html

But you won't be able to use the new installer or anything since that is in the dev version.

[Brian Madden]

Actually, I'm refining this procedure. I would recommend doing "mpf[cli]" instead of "mpf[all]" because the cli option installs the stuff for mpf and the text ui (versus "all" installs everything), but something in the "all" package isn't installing properly on my mac. Dunno what it is at the moment so you can just avoid that potential by installing with the cli option instead of all.

[Doug Spata]

Thanks. I added quotes and changed it to "mpf[cli]". Here's the new error message:

pipx >(analyze_pip_output:298): pip failed to build package:
    ruamel.yaml

Some possibly relevant errors from pip install:

[Brian Madden]

This is weird to me and I don’t understand what’s happening. These errors indicate that the setup is trying to compile ruamel.yaml from source, but their docs say that’s not necessary.

What happens if you try to install ruamel.yaml on its own? Like this:

pip3 install ruamel.yaml==0.15.100

I am not home now but can look into this more later today. Is this an M1 Mac? (Which should be fine, we’ve done installs on 4-5 different M1 macs and none of them had this. 

Can you provide any other details about your environment?

When I run tpip3 install --no-deps ruamel.yaml==0.15.100 I get a similar error message:

  62 warnings and 4 errors generated.

      error: command '/usr/bin/clang' failed with exit code 1

      [end of output]
 
  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

╰─> ruamel.yaml

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for output from the failure.

Is there something specific I can locate for you in the download log? Thanks for your help and patience with this.

[Doug Spata]

Edit: I ran pip3 install --no-deps ruamel.yaml==0.15.100. Don't know how that extra t got in there.

Hi there,

at least trying to get this to run on a M1 machine of my own. Getting this error message when trying to run the mc_demo file:

Hello,

I just did a clean install of Windows 10 home edition 64 bit.

I first installed python 3.9.13

I then followed the instructions here  https://docs.missionpinball.org/en/latest/install/windows.html to install MPF

I'm getting this error in the mc logs.

Any ideas?  Trying to install this on a INTEL NUC6i3SYH

I'm not sure what the problem could be. I just checked the builds and it looks like they are all building ok (this is the process in the cloud that generates the installers that get called and are used when you use pipx). That process runs a bunch of built-in tests which are all passing in the cloud build. What version of mpf and mpf-mc did you install? (You can do "pipx list" from the command line, I think, to see the specific versions.)

Are you running your own machine config here, or the mc demo, or the tests?

I forget off the top of my head the exact command to run the built-in tests, I think it's something like:

python3 -m unittest discover mpfmc.tests

I'm curious is that works? If so then there's something in your machine that is not included in the tests (which we can figure out and add).

I'm out of town this weekend but back monday and can try to see if I can reproduce this on my end if you can't sort it out before that.

Hi Brian,

I tried running my own config. 

I re-installed windows again and this time installed python 3.7.8 but no difference, same error.

Here is what I see when I run pipx list

venvs are in C:\Users\rat_k\.local\pipx\venvs

[Brian Madden]

Can you try running the mc demo from the mpf examples repo? (There are instructions for that on the same docs page.) Use the arrow keys to navigate slides which will trigger a sound. And maybe try the unit tests as I wrote earlier too. We need to determine if this is something from your machine or if the windows build is broken but our tests don't cover it.

[mike wiz]

Do I have to download the unit tests?

I tried running python -m unittest discover mpfmc.tests and got an error message like file not found.

I tried running the mc_demo and demo_man examples and get the same message:

Error installing mpf-mc.

It looks like some libraries or directories aren't downloading. I tried re-installing Homebrew (step 2) and then re-installing the libraries (step 3), but keep getting the same message. Could I have skipped a step? Is there a way to download these specific libraries or directories?
