Terminator installation steps

[vivi....@gmail.com]

Hello,

I would like to know the steps involved to download and use Terminator on Mac Sierra.

Iam not sure on using the related files from GitHub.

Thanks

[Martin Dorey]

Downloading should be just as explained at: 

https://github.com/software-jessies-org/jessies/wiki/Downloads

Finding the latest file in Drive is a pain, I agree, but I haven't got round to trying to automatically link to it.  I think the Mac one is:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-Mc8NOhEomic_3VB3-pEPv0lraT395a6

I don't remember any installation prerequisites for the Mac, but it's been many moons.  I wouldn't be surprised, in particular, if Java's no longer there by default.  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204036 supports that idea.  Terminator's Mac build was done using Apple's Java.  While Terminator assuredly works with Java 6, 7 and 8 on Linux and Windows, I can't promise it works with Oracle's Java on Mac.  Please let us know if you try it!

Thanks for your response, got the .dmg installed for terminator, installed the latest JDK after which when i invoke terminator i get uncaught exception error:

Here is the java version:

Viveks-MacBook-Pro:logs Vivek$ java -version

java version "9.0.1"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9.0.1+11)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9.0.1+11, mixed mode)

Please send us the contents of the application log, from /Users/Vivek/.terminator/logs/terminator-882.log.

An idea of what you were doing when Java exited might be useful.

Command line was:

The crux being:

Terminator: Couldn't start Terminator.
Associated exception:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.apple.eawt.Application.addApplicationListener(Lcom/apple/eawt/ApplicationListener;)V
	at e.gui.AboutBox.initMacOsAboutMenu(AboutBox.java:305)

That class name sounds like one of those things that has, for years, caused deprecation warnings when we build.  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9239287/what-is-the-alternative-for-deprecated-com-apple-eawt-applicationlistener might have some pointers for what we should do, but it would need someone with an up-to-date Mac OS, so they can see the results of what they do.  My first generation Intel MacBook can't go further than, what was it called, Snow Badger, so I guess we're stuffed.  Thanks, though, for letting us know.

By the way, I installed the gdrive client (https://github.com/prasmussen/gdrive) using brew install gdrive

Then ran this query below. It lists the jessies directory not jessies/latest as the latest didn't have the OSX .zip file in it:

$ gdrive list --query " '0BzZNCgKvEkQYZDBNTm1HWThOaEU' in parents and name contains 'terminator' and name contains 'zip' "

Note that Terminator works ok with Java 8 on OSX:

I'm using latest Java 8 with Terminator:

$ java -version

java version "1.8.0_144"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode)

(Glad to see we agree on the id of the latest file.)

Right.  I've got round to the infrastructure and the wiki updates and the Linux and Windows parts of this:

... but not checking that the Mac installers now go to the right place.  Let alone Solaris.  Happy birthday, Chris!
