Hello! Great job Hans, helping us Mac M1 users with a comprehensive Astroimaging suite!

I have a small problem at the final copy command of the codesigning process and I hope you can review your readme file instructions.

Your readme file went well, right up to the CP command.

d) Copy the downloaded M1 astap file:
sudo cp ~/Downloads/astap_M1/astap .

It came up with an error showing me how the CP command was to be correctly used.

I am quite inexperienced at the Mac command line. I even tried your instructions by including the full stop, ie 'astap .'

Which is probably not correct.

Any chance you could review these instrucions again?

Many thanks.

Ivan.

Hello,

I don't have an M1 (the instruction is written by an user), but I think it goes wrong with the paths or the mv (move) command. You better copy from to source.

At my old system ASTAP is at:

cd ~/Downloads/astap.fpc
ls
This should show the file astap if you see astap. If not go to

cd ~/Downloads/astap_M1

Then you can

codesign --force -s - ./astap
sudo chmod +x ./astap

I don't understand the following step. This will move astap to astap.intel. I would skip this step for the moment:

c) Rename the default astap file:
sudo mv astap astap.intel (enter your Mac password when prompted)

Then you can copy astap to the app:

cp ./astap /Applications/ASTAP.app/Contents/MacOS

I will ask M1 users for advice.

Detailed instructions:

1) Download and Install the regular ASTAP application.
2) Download the M1 astap file (eg to Downloads folder) and extract from the zip file. There will be a folder in Downloads called astap_M1
3) Sign the downloaded ASTAP file (as per your instructions) eg:
codesign --force -s - ~/Downloads/astap_M1/astap
4) Make sure the ASTAP program is not running, then open the Terminal app
5) Type the following:
a) cd /Applications/ASTAP.app/Contents/MacOS
b) Make the downloaded astap file executable:
sudo chmod +x ~/Downloads/astap_M1/astap
c) Rename the default astap file:
sudo mv astap astap.intel (enter your Mac password when prompted)
d) Copy the downloaded M1 astap file:
sudo cp ~/Downloads/astap_M1/astap .

I made one error with the chmod command. See the updated online version of my post

Hello Ivan,

New instruction. I doubt if 4) is required. Can you test it?

Regards, Han

1) Download
https://sourceforge.net/projects/astap-program/files/macOS%20installer/astap_M1.pkg/download

2) Make sure the ASTAP program is not running. Place the mouse cursor on the pkg file an install using the right mouse button popup menu.

3) Open a terminal windows and copy paste and execute the following command:
codesign --force -s - /Applications/ASTAP.app/Contents/MacOS/astap

4) Make the downloaded astap file executable:
sudo chmod +x /Applications/ASTAP.app/Contents/MacOS/astap

Hey Hank

Thanks for the quick reply!

I have gone to work for the day but will try this tonight and let you know.

Cheers

I got a confirmation from an other M1 owner that step 4) is not required. Furthermore step 3) Code signing is only once required. Not for updating.
