include macOS install instruction

[dimirey]

Would it be possible to include macOS install instruction?

Thanks

Hello,

I do not have a mac but I'll try to get my hands on one to add them :)

Any word on adding mac installs?

There are ways to install apt-get on a mac, but it's not recommended to use it alongside an existing package manager. I'm already using Homebrew for quite a few things.

I'd really like to use this.

Alright I'm get to work on this, I'll add the instructions today or tomorrow.

Actually I still don't have a macos environment, but I can definitely guide you through the install @kraftydevil

You need those components :

cv2 (opencv) :

Looks like brew install opencv works

pyautogui :

As per the :
"OS X needs the pyobjc-core and pyobjc module installed in that order"

So it's an easy
pip3 install -U pyobjc-core
pip3 install -U pyobjc

Also note that if you are using mojave you may need to change your config : asweigart/pyautogui#247

"Not a pyautogui user, but on Mojave, there's a new security feature where you must explicitly allow applications to use your mouse/keyboard. Have a look in Security Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility - you might have to allow your terminal application in the list."

Once you have those try

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

and see if you have errors. If this worked, please report back so I can update the README

No install errors 👍- using 10.13.6 (High Sierra).

Install was as you mentioned:

brew install opencv
pip3 install -U pyobjc-core
pip3 install -U pyobjc
git clone https://github.com/drov0/python-imagesearch.git
cd python-imagesearch
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

I will test with one of the examples and report back.

[kraftydevil]

yep, the first two examples are working 👍. Thanks for guiding me to it.

Awesome, thanks !

I have followed the install instructions on my Mac, but I am getting this

I had the same runtime error.
