Jackett: Research OS X install guide

Hey,

Thanks for plugin

Can anyone point me at an updated OS X install guide - https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett#installation-on-linuxosx really isn't very helpful?

Hope to hear back

Kind thanks

Don't have a mac here, where are you getting stuck?
If you've already got Sonarr running, you should be able to just go to step 3 and run

@ldexterldesign Just installed on OS X with these steps and without issue:

1. Install mono with brew: brew update && brew install mono
2. Download the latest .tar.gz release from here: https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/releases
3. Start Jackett with mono JackettConsole.exe

Can you think of anything obvious I'm missing?

In your directory Build.bat Installer.iss LICENSE README.md Upstart.config src you have the source code (you can delete all of this), you can't run this directly, you have to run code that has been compiled.

Go to the releases page https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/releases and download the latest Jackett.Binaries.Mono.tar.gz file and extract contents. cd into the directory that contains JackettConsole.exe and then you will be able to run mono JackettConsole.exe

Hey @flightlevel,

Cheers for reply

All sorted - kind thanks

Download and extract the latest .tar.gz release from the releases page and run Jackett using mono with the command "mono JackettConsole.exe".

• https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett#installation-on-linuxosx

May I suggest the README is updated, because there are two tar.gz downloads on https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/releases :

1. Jackett.Binaries.Mono.tar.gz
2. Source code (tar.gz)

The following wording would have saved me a bunch of time and probably the creation of this issue altogether:

Download and extract the latest Jackett.Binaries.Mono.tar.gz release from the releases page and run Jackett using mono with the command "mono JackettConsole.exe".

Kind regards

@ldexterldesign I changed the wording in PR #424. Should be better now :)
