Installing on MacOSX

Okay, I really need to emphasize, that using Anaconda is the recommended way to install this module. But ok:

This should work on OSX versions 10.6 up to the most recent. But only on INTEL architectures, not on PowerPC. I am testing on 10.10. And I have confirmation for 10.9. Let me know if you can confirm it working on a different version.

Installing requirements for cseabreeze backend on OSX not using conda

Nothing. You are done :) The library ships with the wheel.

Installing requirements for pyseabreeze backend on OSX

You need to find a tutorial for running pyUSB on OSX. If you find a good one, let me know, then I'll add it here. But I really recommend running cseabreeze.

python-seabreeze

  1. Install AND/OR upgrade pip. Do not file any issues if pip --version returns less than version 8.x.x! This is crucial because the wheels are built for both architectures and only recent pip versions allow the installation (as far as I understand)
  2. Download the correct wheel from the releases page. You need to choose the wheel matching you python version (i.e. Python2.7.3 == cp27).

Then you can just run:

pip install NAME-OF-THE-PYTHON-WHEEL-I-JUST-DOWNLOADED.whl

You made it. Congratulations.

Common problems

I can't install the wheel

Upgrade your pip version to something above 8.x.x. That should fix it. If not, try running a python interpreter downloaded from python.org. The wheels are built for those.
