Installing on macOS

Tip: To avoid errors, instead of typing the commands below, select and copy them from this page and paste them into the terminal.

1. Open a terminal.

2. Enter python3.12 -V to check if you have Python 3.12. If you get an error message like ‘command not found’:
   • Download and run the Python 3.12 installer.

3. If you installed Python in step 2, close the terminal and open a new one.

4. Enter xcode-select --install and follow the instructions. If you get a message that the command line tools are already installed, then this step is done.

5. Enter cd <M269 folder path>, e.g. cd ~/OU/m269-25j, to go to your M269 folder. (~ is a shorthand for your home folder.)

6. Enter curl -LO https://github.com/dsa-ou/m269-installer/raw/main/install.sh to download the installation script.

7. Enter chmod +x install.sh to allow the installation script to run.

8. Enter ./install.sh to run the installation script. Ignore a message about pytype and networkx being incompatible.

9. Close the terminal.

You will have these files in your M269 folder:

• install.sh: the installation script
• requirements.txt: the list of M269 software
• custom.css: the style changes to Jupyter notebooks

Tip: Do not remove these files, so that you can re-install the software, if needed.
