Install on OSX Mavericks?

[seannymurrs]

Can someone post a brief walkthrough on how to install Mylar on a mac running OSX Mavericks?

Since the base of Mylar hasn't changed, but has been modified, the installations for Headphones on a mac OSX should work the same for Mylar.

(Taken from the Headphones wiki with the wording of 'headphones' replaced with 'mylar' for continuity):

1. Download Mylar from github: https://github.com/evilhero/mylar/zipball/development
2. Extract the zip.
3. Open a terminal (in /Applications/Utilities)
4. Type: cd and drag the extracted Mylar-folder into the terminal.
5. Type: python Mylar.py
6. Mylar will be loaded in your browser or listening @ http://localhost:8090.
7. To force Mylar to launch at startup create a text file named com.mylar.mylar.plist
8. Paste the code below into it. NOTE: you will have to adjust the path /Applications/Mylar/Mylar.py to reflect your installation.

9. Save file in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.mylar.mylar.plist where ~ is your home directory. Do NOT save it in /System/Library or /Library as Mylar will launch as root.

Code: Select all

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>  
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">  
    <plist version="1.0">  
    <dict>  
      <key>Label</key>  
      <string>com.mylar.mylar</string>  
      <key>ProgramArguments</key>  
      <array>  
          <string>/usr/bin/python</string>  
           <string>/Applications/Mylar/Mylar.py</string>  
           <string>-q</string>  
           <string>-d</string>  
      </array>  
      <key>RunAtLoad</key>  
      <true/>  
    </dict>  
    </plist
