macOS arm64 installers

[tomgoedkoop]

I want to install Sine on a m3 MacBook Pro, but the downloads on the release page don't include a filename extension.
How do I install Sine on macos?

@tomgoedkoop https://github.com/CosmoCreeper/Sine/releases/download/v1.1.5/sine-darwin-arm64

[CosmoCreeper]

@tomgoedkoop, the files do not include file extensions because they are binaries and don't really have one. You can just open the file in mac after downloading and it will work fine.

[CosmoCreeper]

@tomgoedkoop I did notice something. If you are on mac or linux, you will need to run chmod +x ./sine-darwin-arm64 (or whatever the name of the file is.)

After some time the file automatically switched icon to an exec and went through the installation process but it doesn't seem to work. I got an error while installing, but it also said that Sine has been installed successfully. Did i do something wrong?

[CosmoCreeper]

@HourGlassDk Try using /Applications/Zen Browser.app/contents/resources

[mullum]

Hi, I Installed it, but it doesn't appear in settings

[CosmoCreeper]

@mullum you run chmod? Also, do you use Twilight?

[mullum]

Yes, I used chmod +x. I do not know what Twilight is, so I guess not.

[CosmoCreeper]

@mullum it appears that the installation directory is incorrect. Try this:

/Applications/Zen Browser.app/content/resources

[mullum]

Yes, I did try that, although the file is called Zen.app on my system. I still get the same error messages.

[CosmoCreeper]

@mullum Are you sure its not Zen Browser.app? I think that could be an issue. Also, Twilight is the beta branch.

[mullum]

So...Finally it works! I fully de-install and re-install Zen Browser, then install Sine...Same issue!
I used the full link, than I used only /Applications, then moved the created files to /resources and it works!

[CosmoCreeper]

@mullum which one did you install? Depending on the size of the mod, it could take longer.

EDIT: Also, tell me what the ctrl+shift+j menu says.

[mullum]

Which one I should have installed?

The console give me this error:
Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Could not write to `~/Library/Application Support/zen/Profiles/zv1pul0j.Default (release)/chrome/zen-themes/advanced-tab-groups/chrome.css': failed to open file for writing (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)

As I looked into folder /chrome/ there is no folder zen-themes.

Do I have to install some other addons?

By the way...I using an Macbook...

[CosmoCreeper]

@mullum add a zen-themes folder and then close out Zen and try installing the mod again.

[mullum]

yes, it works!

Thanks!!

[CosmoCreeper]

@mullum that's music to a starving developer's ears. Lmk if you have more problems or questions and ill try to fix that folder issue.

[easyscripter]

hi, when im trying install sine i have this error. Before , i made chmod +x for file . Can you help me?

[CosmoCreeper]

@easyscripter try using /Applications/Zen Browser.app/Twilight/content/resources

When running the sine-darwin-arm64 binary on an M1 Macbook Pro, I got the error:

“This file is damaged and should be deleted”

The macOS Gatekeeper blocks unsigned executables downloaded from the internet by marking them with a quarantine attribute.

Run in Terminal:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./sine-darwin-arm64
chmod +x ./sine-darwin-arm64
./sine-darwin-arm64

This removes the quarantine flag, restores the executable permission, and allows the binary to run normally.
This workaround is safe if you trust the source. Alternatively, you can build from source using:

git clone https://github.com/CosmoCreeper/Sine.git
cd Sine
make

As @mullum said above:
I had to set for the installation folder: /Applications, then manually move the created files to /Applications/Zen.app/Contents/Resources

[CosmoCreeper]

@kevinpaterson thanks for the reply, but you shouldn't have to set it to /Applications. /Applications/Zen.app/Content/Resources should work if Zen is closed.

Just checking, was unable to install this on m3 macbook. I've already ran the de-quarantine commands as mentioned in the README.

@chunkhaik by default the profile youre using is 2 not 1.
