I wrote the following script (in python since you already need it to run meld) and placed it in ~/bin folder (making sure to add ~/bin to my PATH, see bellow). If all fails I recommend using version osx-v1, since it seems to work for most users.Īs I said earlier, Meld.dmg “just worked” for me, except that it didn’t work in the command line, and that is where I need it the most.

The author of of that package posts his updates in the comments sometimes, so be on a lookout for that. You might have to try a few release to find the one that works for you. Some of them did not work for all users, but the latest release (OSX – 3.15.2) suppose to work. Note: I am linking to release tagged osx-v1, there have been other releases since then. Pleae make sure to visit the official project page – Meld for OSX.

It is Meld packaged with all of the dependencies into a regular. It will probably have to pull in a lot of dependencies so it might take a while, but it should work.įor some reason Homebrew did not work for me on my new Mac back in February of 2015, so I had to look for other options (hence the “Without Homebrew, MacPorts, or Think” part in the original title of this article).Īfter some intense Googling, I came across this AWESOME fork of Meld. Just read the outputted message carefully.

In February of 2016 for me that command was `brew install homebrew/gui/meld`, some people report that `brew install homebrew/x11/meld` worked for them. Note: `brew install meld` will probably fail, but the error will show you the proper command to run. NewArg = '-output=' + os.path.abspath(filename)ĪrgsArray = + userArgs

How do i run homebrew python on mac os
