11/11/2023 0 Comments Hands off mac osx 10.9Needless to say that the disk image contains a package file that needs to be installed. These two frameworks are prerequisite for installing the Matplotlib Python module, which can be found here. Again these disk images contain package files that need to be installed. Unfortunately this is the case for all files I reference in the course of this blog post…Īfter having successfully installed GDAL and numpy, you will need to install the FreeType framework v2.4.10-1 and the UnixImageIO framework v1.4.3, both can be found here. ![]() Instead, you will have to right-click it and select “Open” manually. ![]() Well, it tries to do so, by making it impossible to open/run them by double-clicking. One word of (annoyed) advice here: Mac OS protects you from opening and running files from unidentified developers. ![]() First, install the GDAL.pkg, then the numpy.pkg. This will download an image file that contains (amongst others) two packages. It all starts with the GDAL Complete 1.10 framework package, which can be found here. But before installing the actual QGIS one (unfortunately…) needs to make sure that some dependent packages and libraries are installed. Postgres/PostGIS should be OK.Īccordingly, the QGIS installer is called QGIS 2.0.1-7 for Lion & Mt Lion, but that didn’t put me off, since I know of people successfully running this release on Mavericks. MapServer/PHP is old and probably will not work. At least QGIS, GRASS and the frameworks and Python modules. I’ve had a few reports that my Lion builds work on Mavericks. All packaging will still be done on Lion. I don’t plan on upgrading to OS X Mavericks (10.9) soon. Since I have had nothing but good experiences with the QGIS distributions for Mac OS by William Kyngesburye (a.k.a. I had read (and heard) about some issues with QGIS after upgrading to Mavericks, so circumventing this trouble seemed like a good idea. There’s a lot written on the web about how to do that, so I’m not going into details here. After setting up the MacBook from said TimeMachine backup it occurred to me that there was nothing “exclusively” on that machine, hence a Mavericks setup from scratch as opposed to an upgrade would be a feasible option to get a clean system. For my current PhD thesis data I even went two steps further and added manual backups to Google Drive and SkyDrive to the mix.īut back to the topic of this post. On a different note, the hardware failure did not cause me any data loss at all, since I have a very thorough (read: paranoid) backup strategy, including two local TimeMachine backups in physically separate locations (one at home, one at my lab’s desk) and three cloud services: CrashPlan to backup the complete data on my iMac and in addition an automated Dropbox workflow and iCloud for all the documents. Obviously I’m not going to screw up my main production machine, the iMac, but instead designated my old, trusted MacBook Pro to be the guinea-pig. It had been released in October, but I had been too busy to play around with it, so far. ![]() Spatial Terrorism Vulnerability AnalysisĪfter a hardware failure on my MacBook Pro’s hard disk in the end of last year (replaced for free within half a day at the Apple Store, thanks to my Apple Care Protection Plan) and an extended christmas and new year holiday I’m currently being struck down by a nasty cold and hence decided I have some spare time on my hands to give the latest Mac OS X version 10.9 “Mavericks” a try.
