    Hi all. I'm a newbie trying to setup a jamulus server on my macbook pro via terminal. I'm receiving an Error message from terminal.

    I type in:
    Jamulus.app/Contents/MacOS/ and then execute ./Jamulus -s

    but all I'm getting is an error message in terminal in response:

    Jamulus.app/Contents/MacOS/ and then execute ./Jamulus -s
    -bash: Jamulus.app/Contents/MacOS/: No such file or directory
    Macintosh-150:~ shaun$

    Any clues guys? I'm wondering if its becasue terminal is registered to shaun the previous owner of my mac and jamulus is stored in my name/area on the mac.

    Thanks in advance,

    Carl

      Hi Carl,

      in termal, type this line and then press the ENTER key:

      cd /Applications/Jamulus.app/Contents/MacOS/

      and then, type this line and then press the ENTER key:

      ./Jamulus -s

    Why don't you double click on the Jamulus Server icon?
    Anyway, please first check where you are with the command pwd.
    Then, are you sure Jamulus is not in the Applications folder? In such case, the server can be reached at /Applications/Jamulus.app ... etc. If you use shell autocompletion , you are sure whether the file exists or not (that is, start writing, then hit TAB to complete folders and file names).

    BTW to find the path to Jamulus in OSX so you can use it in the Terminal:

    1. Locate Jamulus in the Finder.
    2. Right-click on it and select "Show Package Contents."
    3. Locate the executable file in Contents -> MacOS -> Jamulus
    4. Drag that file onto your blank Terminal window.

    Now you can see the full path to your application on the command line and run it from there with any command line switches if you want.

    Here's the Terminal command that I use to start my server...

    /Applications/Jamulus.app/Contents/MacOS/Jamulus --server --recording Downloads --welcomemessage "This server is for private band rehearsals. If it’s up, we’re probably rehearsing. You’re welcome to listen, but please don’t interrupt. Thanks."

      OT, but regarding "please don’t interrupt" - don't forget you can always simply solo the musicians you want to play with. As of Jamulus 3.5.4, people will also see a mute icon above your channel when you do so they know you can't hear them. I have been on servers where two bands were playing at the same time using this technique.

        Great tip! I have been Muting people that join the server, but didn't realize that Solo could be applied to more than one musician (to hear them as a group).

    Here's how to create an "App" with the command line settings on a Mac.

      Work is being done to incporporate most of the command line options into the GUI at the moment, but until that comes out this is good info.
