Parity-ethereum: How to run parity on Mac Sierra?

[jordimorris]

I have installed parity following the steps at
https://ethcore.io/parity.html

How can I run parity? it is said in github to run:

To start Parity manually, just run
$ ./target/release/parity

but I get the error "command not found" and I don't understand where is installed.

How to know and find the folder from where the command has to run?

thanks

If you used the installer it should be running as a service already, just go to localhost:8080 for UI. If you used homebrew, then parity should be the command to start it.

@jordimorris the "run target/release/parity" instruction is only relevant when building from source. If you've installed using the installer, then "Parity Ethereum" should be in your applications folder.

Or, if you installed it via brew, just type parity in your terminal.

I installed it via installer, how can I use parity in my terminal? uninstall it in the applications folder and reinstall it using brew? I have geth installed, which block the port 30303, I think I need to try parity --geth option, but command line tool seems not available when install through the installer, is it true? I think it need to be stated in the web site at the begining....

If you used the installer parity CLI is available at /Applications/Parity\ Ethereum.app/Contents/MacOS/parity. You can add this to PATH, or make a shell alias.

Thx a lot! It solved ! in case someone have the same problem, here is the procedure of using command line parity if you install parity as an mac application via packager.
open Users/your.username/.bash_profile, add the following line:
export PATH=/Applications/Parity\ Ethereum.app/Contents/MacOS:$PATH
notice that there is a space and it is verse slash before Ethereum.app, as said by arkpar
restart terminal, (no need to restart your mac)
Hope this will be in the readme or parity wiki page..

Append the path of the Parity executable to bash_profile and restart the terminal with a single command:

echo 'export PATH=/Applications/Parity\ Ethereum.app/Contents/MacOS:$PATH' >> ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_profile
