OSX Terminal

sdrawkcaB emaN

So I'm trying to install Hamachi on my macbook, but that shit is a Unix app instead of OSX, so I have to install it and run it through the Terminal

I never use Terminal and I have no clue how to do this. When I double-click on the install icon, it opens Terminal and spits this out:

Last login: Fri Mar 7 19:44:24 on ttys000
/Users/sampritchard/Desktop/hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-osx/install ; exit;
sam-pritchards-macbook:~ sampritchard$ /Users/sampritchard/Desktop/hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-osx/install ; exit;

Please run 'install' under the root account

logout

[Process completed]


So what do I do?

mastman

usually you have to navigate to the directory and type

make
make install


two separate commands


make compiles it
make install installs it


ohh, and to enable root account you have to go to applications/utilities/

run directory utility
unlock it
go to edit and enable root access
give it a password
in the terminal type 'su -' (without the '')
type in password

go to that directory and install

Can you just type out everything I have to type, and also tell me where

I mean really break it down for me, I don't ever use this shit.

I have no idea what "usually you have to navigate to the directory" even means

mastman

wherever you unzipped that program too.

if it is under your username it is in

/Users/<username>/

when you open terminal you'll be in that directory. But if you need to get around / is the base directory. Kind of like the C:/ in windows.

cd changes directories
pwd tells you where you are
cd .. moves you up one folder
ls lists directory contents

sdrawkcaB emaN

yeah see you're hurting my brain

Can you just give me step-by-step instructions?

I mean I appreciate you trying to impart some Terminal wisdom on me but I think you've overestimated my aptitude for this stuff

mastman

no dammit. You're going to learn!!

alright, where is this program located. The files that you tried to click

mastman

I can't type out the way to enable root access any better. But if you get that done I can type out exactly how to install it

sdrawkcaB emaN

it's located on my desktop in a folder called hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-osx

mastman

ok. once you get root access enabled.

stuff prefixed by * is me talking to you
stuff surrounded by ' ' is commands you type
stuff surrounded by <> is shit you gotta fill in

*open up terminal.

'su -'
<enter your password>
'cd /Users/<username>/Desktop/hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-osx'
'make ' *may not be necessary, but it'll be ok
'make install'


* find out where it installed to by typing 'locate hamachi' locate is a search command. hopefully it isn't installed somewhere retarded. Hopefully it is just installed onto your desktop.
* once it is installed, you want to be able to run it while not being root, being root is dangerous
* say it is installed on your desktop in a folder called hamachi. Which is /Users/<username>/Desktop/hamachi you would want to type
'sudo chmod -R o+wrx /Users/<username>/Desktop/hamachi'
*it will prompt you for your username password, so enter it

the directory utility doesn't give me an option to open root access

I run leopard, by the way, if that makes any difference

Terminal also lets you simply drag a folder on to it, and it'll autocomplete the absolute path. So if you're really having a hard time getting to a folder, you can simply type cd [space] and then drag the folder into Terminal and then hit enter. You'll see Terminal fill in the path to that folder.

mastman

it's under edit, along the top

mastman

also, once you're ready to install, where i had
make
make install

you may just need to type install

it seems they have some fancy thing prepared for you. just try both

'man install'

you gotta see what those flags mean. This might mean you have to track down your work's tech support and see what he wants.

also, try to logout and log back in as root (from the normal OS X window) and double click it. That app seems progressed enough it might have a gui installer. look around on hamachi's webpage

mastman

wait, i don't know if you can log in to OS X GUI as root, never tried it

how do I log in as the root account?

mastman

no fucking idea

lemme try it

sdrawkcaB emaN

also when I typed "man install" it gave me this moonspeak:

about logging in as the root account:

Please run 'install' under the root account

logout

[Process completed]"

this is the message I get when I double-click on the executable file called "install" in the hamachi folder

I think you might be right that all I have to do is log in with root access and double-click this

that seems to be what it's saying, anyway

Monoxide

You don't actually have to go to directory utility and do all of that

you can just preface the commands with sudo and it will prompt for your password

so make and make install become:
sudo make
sudo make install

Also, it looks like you don't have make on your mac or it's not set up correctly. You might need to install the Developer Tools to get this to work. Everything's included here in the XCode 3.0 package, so install that and it should work okay

edit: Wait, I don't think you even need make for this

cd to the hamachi folder in Terminal and type this

sudo ./install

mastman

alright.

*if you are root, type 'exit'
*we wanna get out of root

*navigate back to the hamachi directory

*try

'sudo ./install'
<enter your pw>

mastman

I'm trying this writeup for ya insteaf of guessing normal unix shit

SUCCESS!

mastman

excellent

sdrawkcaB emaN

ah fuck

not working now.

sdrawkcaB emaN

installed but won't actually start the program.

is there a way for me to just entirely start over and undo/erase anything I've done so far

mastman

check out that page i linked.

sdrawkcaB emaN

that page links to this

My only question is if this includes hamachi itself, because I'm concerned that my attempt to install through the Terminal was totally fucked, so if this requires a proper Terminal install, it'll be fucked, too

mastman

lol, here's a more full link. remove the space in ht tp

ht tp://www.command-tab.com/2006/08/13/hamachi-on-mac-os-x/

mastman

nah. all those failed install make install things didn't do shit. I looked over the output. but if you want you can find where it went and delete it and try again

'locate hamachi'

rm -r <directory of installation>

be careful, that's the delete commad.

sdrawkcaB emaN

Well I finally got it running, both in the command-line and also with the front-end, but for some reason while I can connect to servers and whatnot I can't actually get a proper VPN going or actually play games over hamachi.

awesome.

Do you have the required ports open on your firewall?

For future reference, you may want to install Fink or pkg-src. They are two different package management systems that work on Mac OS X (originally from BSD), and they make installing *nix apps really easy. Instead of having to do the ./configure && make && make install stuff every single time you want to install something, you can get precompiled packages that will also solve for dependencies. They essentially do the same job as apt does on Debian, but they work with OS X.

Having used Hamachi before for my Mac, I would highly SUGGEST using HamachiX over regular ol' Hamachi

man why hamachi gotta be such a bitch to install on a mac

i feel you, backwards man
