Praat on OS X

After downloading Praat from its website (http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/) and adding it to your Applications folder, you'll need to add Praat to your path so that FAVE-extract can make use of it.

Adding Praat to your path



In the 
Terminal application,
 go 
to 
your 
home
 directory and list all of the files in it.

cd ~
ls -a

Look towards the top of the list for a file called .bash_profile. If there isn't one, you can create it by typing

touch .bash_profile

Open the file:

open .bash_profile

Add the following line to the end of the file.

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Praat.app/Contents/MacOS

If you put Praat in a directory other than /Applications, change this line accordingly. Save and close .bash_profile

Checking for success

Close and reopen the Terminal window. Type in

which praat

The Terminal should print back

Applications/Praat.app/Contents/MacOS/praat
