Installing CKAN on OSX

This guide assume that you run the latest version of OS X and that your downloads go into the default "Downloads" directory.

• Download and install the latest build of Mono for Mac

• Get the latest version of CKAN from the releases page

• Press Cmd+Spacebar on your keyboard, write "Terminal" and the press Enter

• In your terminal write the following with an Enter keystroke after each line

cd Downloads

mono ckan.exe

Note that on some macs the loading of CKAN can generate spamming of Fontconfig warnings about not having a valid region tag and ignoring UTF-8 in the terminal. If this is the case the following line can be used instead of mono ckan.exe

LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" && mono ckan.exe

After ensuring that ckan.exe runs correctly you should check out the CKAN OSX automator apps.
