Setting up serialosc

macOS

For various reasons we don’t use the App Store. Homebrew is a package manager for Mac. You’ll have open a terminal window and paste a few commands:

  • /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" to install homebrew

once completed, copy-paste these commands:

  • brew install serialosc to install serialosc
  • brew services start serialosc to start serialosc
  • brew services list to confirm serialosc is running

Successful brew services list output looks like:

Name        Status    User     File
serialosc   started   <you>   ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.serialosc.plist

If you need to stop the serialosc process, execute brew services stop serialosc. Note that if you stop the serialosc process it will not start again, even if your machine is restarted, until you execute brew services start serialosc.

Note: if you have an older installation of serialosc, please remove the Monome folder from ~/Library/Application Support, as it will supersede the homebrew installation.

Windows

Download the serialosc release and run the installer. Be sure to restart your device afterward.
