Group: Forum Members Posts: 20, Visits: 240	Hi All, Just moved from a PC to a Mac running Mojavie 10.14.5. Is there an easy to follow guide on how to instal and run SkyDemon on my machine. I've read the thread and come across things like winebotlle wrapper or similar - I have no idea what this means. Many thanks

Are you really sure, that you are using the package wrapped by Which version shows the Skydemon you are running?Regards, Peter Ok I finally got everything working again, including updates. I uninstalled Sky Demon for Mac using AppCleaner and then removed hanging directories as suggested by Rikur in an earlier post: rm -rf $HOME/Documents/SkyDemon rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Divelements Limited/" I then reinstalled Sky Demon using Cessnaoui's build. I had to wait for a bit whilst Wine update itself. That's all. Thanks for you help and suggestions. Edited 7/5/2019 3:27:06 PM by SmoothFlyer

Please find here the link to download the package: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nHQEjz9QqYsAd2K16XseNWoW1rcLCx75/view The zip file contains the "Skydemon for Mac.app" that you have to copy to your "Application" folder. This version seems to be stable. I encountered one or two crashes but nothing blocking the use of the application. Please note that I already had that behavior on previous versions of Skydemon for Mac. Good luck and have safe flights. I have an old iMac running macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 Skydemon for Mac keeps crashing when trying to scroll or zoom. I have not been able to test other functionality due to the crashes. May have to revert to using it under Windows using Boot Camp. Strange, I'm using same version of MacOS and it works correctly. Another possibility is to install a virtualized Windows using VirtualBox. It is working very nicely and is more stable. VirtualBox is free but of course you need a Windows licence. I have reinstalled this version and seems to be working fine now. Thank you!

Only one little thing - if you do a next pull from your setup, could you please switch to system language english before? The wrapper you are using does not recognize multi-language and puts the SkyDemon folder in 'Mes documents' which is not mapped correct on a non-French host system. Took me an irritating moment to find my log files ;-). Thank you for mentioning this. I will take care next time ;-)
