[Maxima-discuss] Installation of Maxima on iMac running macOS 14.2.1 Sonoma

[Dr. W. L. <dr....@gm...>]

Hi group,

I am struggling to install Maxima on my iMac running macOS 14.2.1 Sonoma.


== 1. ==  I tried Maxima 46.0*.dmg with MacPorts - NO success:
I installed MacPorts, ok.
I followed the instruction in "ReadMe for M1 Mac.rtf“.
But the process was not successful .. it refused to install SBCL.
Attached is my log file and the ReadMe file along which I tried to install Maxima.

--> Maybe someone was able to do so and can give me some hints?


== 2. ==  But I succeeded to install Maxima 43.0,
which is the last version not using MacPorts. Here is the procedure:

a. downlod Maxima-5.43.0-VTK-macOS.dmg (from 2019).

b. Do the following 2 commands in the TERMINAL:

ls -lt@ ${HOME}/Downloads/Maxima*.dmg
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ${HOME}/Downloads/Maxima*.dmg 

c. Now DoubleClick on the Maxima.app in folder Programs.
Then open LAUNCH and chose imaxima or rmaxima. DoubleClick.

d. Answer with yes to open maxima: iMaxima starts working :)
PS: sorry, but wxMaxima did NOT start this way. Right?

Best regards,
Wolfgang
