After yesterday's 11 hours try to install OTB as plugin to QGIS, of which 
4h was when I was supposed to sleep, I'm turning to you guys for a last 
desperate cry of help.


Background:
Mac OS High Sierra 
QGIS 3.4
Phyton 3.6
OTB 6.6.1 Darwin 64


I have done this:
Downloaded the binary package for Mac and installed OTB 6.6.1-Darwin64.run 
by this command:
chmod +x OTB-6.6.1-Darwin64.run
./OTB-6.6.1-Darwin64.run
 
I am able to start and run Monteverdi and Mapla (so I assume installation 
was successful).
Then I went here: https://gitlab.orfeo-toolbox.org/orfeotoolbox/otb and 
download the "OTB-develop". I extracted the files.


Then I wrote this in terminal:
mkdir $HOME/projects; cd $HOME/projects
git clone https://gitlab.orfeo-toolbox.org/orfeotoolbox/qgis-otb-plugin
export QGIS_PLUGINPATH=$HOME/projects/qgis-otb-plugin

When I wrote "ls" there was something called qgis-otb-plugin amongst the 
content in this $HOME/projects-folder. Should this be exported somewhere 
else than projects-folder?


When I restart QGIS and click on Plugin --> manage and install plugin I go 
to "Installed". There I see "OTB release 6.6" red marked and when clicking 
on it it says it is Broken "Lacking metadata file". I then tried to add  

https://gitlab.orfeo-toolbox.org/orfeotoolbox/otb (named it Git)

in the repository along with QGIS official repository but that didn't work.


After not being able to open OTB in QGIS I then tried to installed OSGeo 
Live 12.0 on Virtual Machine and that went well, but uses an older QGIS 
version. And then I tried to do my job in Monteverdi without QGIS but the 
image I opened went grayscale although it is colored (which it also 
indicates by showing values on the R, G, B band when moving around with the 
mouse). Does anyone know why it turned out grayscale by the way? Couldn't 
click on the RGB-bands.

I can't remember if I have done this part earlier in life though: "You must 
have Python numpy bindings installed in your system. They can be installed 
locally without admin rights as follows: “pip install –user numpy”. " Where 
and how do I write this line? It just returns "pip: command not found" when 
I try. Do I need it? 


Have I done something in the wrong order? 
Does OTB 6.6.1-Darwin 64 and OTB-develop need to be in the same folder or 
have any other relation? 
Shall I do anything after extracting OTB-develop besides the export of 
QGIS_PLUGINPATH-command? Is that exported to the wrong folder? I created 
the "$HOME/projects"-folder for this purpose. 
Is it the numpy bindings that is failing? Where and how do I write this?
I 


How on earth can I get OTB to work in my QGIS?
Please help!
