Just throwing this here before I forget later on:

Shall we not have in the "KStars for Mac Quick Start Guide" pdf file a section explaining that you need to setup the Indi and Ekos/Astrometry settings set to *internal solver* ?

Rob and Jamie, do you think it's time to ask Jasem to get our DMG up in indilib.org/download/osx.html ?
Or do we need a little bit more testing/updates/time ?

What about a tutorial page on how to compile Kstars for OSX at indilib.org/support/tutorials.html ? necessary or not?

Jasem has been asking this question quite a bit, most recently this morning. . . . not yet.

Please test it thoroughly so that we can work the bugs out. Like when you clicked the ok button when you should have clicked the next button and it crashed. I should disable the ok button.

The tutorial could be a modification or even a link to the readme info on the OS X gist that Jamie setup. I think it is very necessary and we should revise that document. I also just recently made a document explaining how to get started in Qt creator using the cmake version to edit kstars on OS X.

Would you like to work on that? It sounds like a great idea.

By the way I just pushed my changes to Jamie's script to a new branch and will do a pull request shortly.

Also, my QuickStart guide could use some screenshots and some editing. I just posted the word document to the gist as well.

Let me work on that, I will take some screenshots for each steps and add steps to the pdf file.
Are you able please to send by email the original document you've used to create the pdf?
MUST not post too quickly before reading .....lol... I shall download it.

github.com/jamiesmith/kstars-on-osx/tree/robsNewMods

Its in there

Ok Changes to Jamie's script now merged with master, I hope I did that right. . .

It should be automatically set to that. I think you need to actively try to change it.

Great!!!

Now Ekos can solve offline perfectly. To resolve I must to install this pakages from terminal:

brew install netpbm

pip install numpy

sudo pip install pyfits

Thanks you very much

Ok, I cannot work on this any more today since I need to do some other work, but please test thoroughly and post any information you find.

Please test the new dmg: KSTARS NEW DMG

Be sure to follow the instructions in the Quickstart guide. Be sure to click "NEXT" in the startup wizard, NOT "OK".
Also the installers for netpbm, pip, python don't work yet. Run these from terminal instead:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install python
pip install numpy (not sure if this is needed, pyfits should do it?)
sudo pip install pyfits
brew install netpbm

To test the installer if you have already run KStars on Mac before, is to delete or backup these two folders:
~/Library/Application Support/Astrometry
~/Library/Application Support/kstars

Also the latest version of our DMG Creator is at github.com/jamiesmith/kstars-on-osx

yes, download new data was a challenge to get working. It took me forever to figure out what files it needed, where they needed to be, what needed to be in the paths, and what needed to be running.

Hi All-
Work has been crazy busy lately- I will try to take a look at the doc steps and see if I can help there.

The merge looked fine - not sure why I didn't get notified if there was a PR. Since it is merged in to master you should probably remove the old brand if you are done.
