How to install MacGitver

In present state, you need to compile MacGitver from source. We provide a compilable version from our default branch development. If you like to help with creating binary packages, please create a pull request or contact me via mail.

Prerequisites

To be able to build and install, the following packages are required:

• Qt >=5.4 (via the Qt installer)
• CMake >=3.1
  • For Ubuntu/Debian you'll have to add this PPA or download and install manually from the CMake homepage.
• A recent C++ compiler GCC (>=4.9) or Clang (>=3.6)
• C++11
  • Clang with libc++
  • GCC with libstdc++
• Git

If you have questions on how to install those packages, feel free to open an issue or write e-mail.

Install

Depending on your hardware, the compile will take about 5-15 minutes.

Linux / OSX

After you installed the above mentioned packages, open a terminal and cd to your favourite directory. Example:

cd ~/Projects/3rd-party

From here, clone the MacGitver repository and run the install script:

git clone git://github.com/macgitver/MacGitver
cd MacGitver/scripts
./mgv-dev-install.sh

The script leads you through the installation process. MacGitver is installed completely into a single directory.

You can now start MacGitver: ~/Projects/MacGitver-Release/installation/bin/MacGitver

How to uninstall MacGitver

# Want to get rid of the configuration file(s) as well?
rm -rf ~/.config/MacGitver

# Last not least, remove  the directory, where you cloned the sources. For the above example:
