Thanks, Mojca actually I just want to install the ola port.
Unfortunately I used brew and port install intermixed which is probably not a good idea. Can I get rid of all (undo) I did with brew (homebrew) and repeat that using macports? That would require to obtain a list of what I did using homebrew and redo that using macports :-( — Christoph > Am 12.01.2019 um 17:44 schrieb Mojca Miklavec <[email protected]>: > > Dear Christoph > > On Sat, 12 Jan 2019 at 17:12, Christoph Kukulies wrote: >> >> Following the steps in >> >> https://www.openlighting.org/ola/mac-install/ > > Do you just want to use the port or did you want to help with the > development of that port? > > It seems that we have the latest version of the software already > packaged in MacPorts, so unless that's broken (you should let us know > if it is), by far the easiest way to install it would be via > > sudo port install ola > > and this is probably also what the official documentation should > suggest trying first. > > > I'll try to answer some of the other questions nonetheless: > >> I’m stumbling across some hurdles: >> >> first off: they ask me to install py27-protobuf >> >> and in the next step I should do a python —version and should install the >> pyXX-protobuf fitting my python version. > > That's probably a slightly unfortunate wording.
