<p>Ahhh... a Mac OSX user! <br>
</p>
<p>We now have a nightly build for Mac OSX:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/Kst-plot/kst-build/tree/macos">https://github.com/Kst-plot/kst-build/tree/macos</a></p>
<p>Triggered by your query, I just updated the kst web site to
reflect this.<br>
</p>
<p>Can you try that one and let me know</p>
<p>i) if it works at all? (and if you do get it to work, a web-site
compatible mini-blurb on how to install it? I don't use macs, so I
have no idea how to install this).<br>
</p>
<p>ii) if it had netcdf</p>
<p>iii) if the newest version of pyKst works with it (and if you had
to make changes, what those changes were).<br>
</p>
<p>I will attempt to fix anything you find here.<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks!<br>
</p>

Fellow kst-ers,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am having a bit of trouble installing/configuring
kst on os x, and I hope you can provide some guidance. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">My goal is to use kst to read netCDF files and take
advantage of the python scripting using pykst. I’m on a macbook
pro running os x 10.10.5, with python 2.7 run from anaconda
package with Qt5 installed. Here is what i’ve tried so far:</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>-
Installed pykst manually, as per the instructions from <a
href="https://kst-plot.kde.org/pykst/" class=""
moz-do-not-send="true">https://kst-plot.kde.org/pykst/</a> -
this appears to run in an ipython.</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>-
Installed the kst v2.0.8 .dmg binary, and ran the first
scripting example (the sine wave) from the docs, which, after
some simple modifications to pykst.py, worked without issue.
However, there appears to be no support for netcdf files (i.e.
no netcdf reader shown in Data Sources in Help - Debug Dialog)</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>-
Installed the v2.0.7 .dmg binary (after uninstalling v2.0.8).
This version appears to contain support for netcdf, with the
reader present in Data Sources, recognises netcdf format (but
config is greyed out) and i’m able to open and view example
files. However, when I run the python example script, after a
few noSuchFun() calls, kst crashes and closes.</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>-
Attempted to install from source, but failed. I downloaded the
git repo, ran cmake, and got an error after Qt5 was found, which
claimed that Qt4 was required.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Of course, the other option would be to use the
dirfile format. However, the application will require writing
data from 3000 sensors at a rate of ~500 Hz, and its my
understanding that with dirfiles, each sensor would require its
own file, and i’m not sure if 3000 open files at once is a good
idea (i’m happy to switch if that assumption isn’t valid).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Any help would be appreciated. Let me know if there
is any other information that would be helpful.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks, Pete</div>
