Installation

Package manager

needed python >= 3.6

pip

Macast supports using pip to install directly to your computer. It is recommended to run Macast in a virtual environment.
You need to install MPV manually and configure it in the system PATH

# install macast
pip install macast
# or install macast dev version
pip install git+https://github.com/xfangfang/Macast.git@dev
# run macast
macast-cli
# or with gui support
macast-gui

Python that comes with MacOS may not support GUI. It seems that you can download a new version of Python from the python official website and install it.
