Thank you for this Zack. I have updated the text under the "Macintosh Installation" section of the Demeter home page (http://bruceravel.github.io/demeter/#mac) to try to capture some of what you said. If you (or anyone else) have any suggestions for improvements to the text on the Demeter homepage, please speak up. If you would like to provide a link to or text for a more substantial Mac installation guide, I would welcome that. Thanks, B On 11/09/2015 12:43 PM, Zack Gainsforth wrote:
I am running under El Capitan and previously under Yosemite. I didn’t really have trouble with the installation, though I do note that after you upgrade the OS, you need to reinstall ALL of macports from scratch sometimes. That means nuke the old directory, download macports from the website and install it and then install each package. And have patience, it can take hours to install all dependencies. I usually let it run overnight.
I’m also using XQuartz.
Macports has documentation about doing this:
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration
and if that fails:
https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html
I would try reinstall first, and then if there is still trouble, dig deeper.

(Note, I’ve only used Hephaestus and Athena on El Capitan. But Artemis worked for me on Yosemite.)
