Dennou Tools for macOS

An example of how to install Dennou Tools in macOS

Introduction

This page describes examples of how to install Dennou Tools in macOS.
DCL’s dependent libraries are installed by using MacPorts and DCL is installed manually. Ruby is installed from rbenv and Ruby libraries are installed from RubyGems.

Do not install both Homebrew and MacPorts in the same system.
Some unexpected conflicts and errors may occur if both are installed together.

If you have any troubles or questions, contact Hiroki Kashimura <hiroki _(at)_ gfd-dennou.org>.

Installation steps

  1. Install Xcode from Mac App Store.

$ rbenv install 3.1.3
$ rbenv global 3.1.3
$ rbenv versions
$ gem install bundler rake rake-compiler
  11. Add the following lines to .zprofile to set $PATH. 
      export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv:$PATH"
  eval "$(rbenv init - zsh)"
