Apple Installation

SCM_Helper can work on:

• Apple Mac
• Apple iPad (command line version only)

Apple Mac

You will need Python 3. By default a Mac has Python 2, it will not work with Python 2.

Install Python 3.

If during the Python install, you are given an option about tk/tcl, select the option, you’ll need it!

Install SCM Helper

Install via pip3

Open a terminal Windows and type

pip3 install scm-helper

Run the command line version.

scm

Install via Git

Open a terminal Windows and type

git clone https://github.com/ColinRobbins/scm-helper.git
cd scm-helper/
python3 setup.py install

Then to run

scm

or

python3 scm.py

Updating

Either

pip3 install scm-helper --upgrade

or

git pull

depending on how you installed it.

Running without the terminal Window.

It looks like it will all run without the terminal window too. You’ll need to follow these instructions.

Apple iPad

(It might work on an iPhone - not tested, but doubt the command line version will be very useful.) Sorry, this is not that simple!

1. install Pythonista.

2. run python inside pythonista and type

import requests as r; exec(r.get('http://bit.ly/get-stash').text)

to install a set of useful commands

3. run launch_stash.py in python 2.7. To do this press and hold the play button. DO NOT use python 3.6 for this command, it will not work properly.

4. In the stash window type

git pull https://github.com/ColinRobbins/scm-helper.git

Close the python 2.7. Everything else is now in python 3.6

5. Install pre-requisits

pip install schema

6. run scm.py
