Cannot upgrade/install on MacOS 13.7

[sylvank]

Please confirm the following:

• I have upgraded to the latest GAM release from https://github.com/GAM-team/GAM/releases and I still have this issue.

No, I am using:

GAM 6.58 - https://jaylee.us/gam - pyinstaller
Python 3.11.3 64-bit final
google-api-python-client 2.86.0
MacOS Ventura 13.7 arm64

• I am typing the command as described in the GAM Wiki at https://github.com/jay0lee/gam/wiki

Yes

Full steps to reproduce the issue:

Attempt to upgrade GAM. The Releases page indicates that MacOS 12 is no longer supported but I am on 13.7.

bash <(curl -s -S -L https://gam-shortn.appspot.com/gam-install) -l

Error:
Sorry, you are running MacOS 13.7 but GAM on arm64 requires MacOS 14. Exiting.

Mac is a Macbook Pro M1.

Thank-you.

This limitation is imposed by GitHub Actions where GAM is built. They only offer MacOS arm64/M1 builders running MacOS 14.

You could try running:

bash <(curl -s -S -L https://gam-shortn.appspot.com/gam-install) -l -b 14.0

to tell the install script you are running MacOS 14 (a lie) but I'm reasonbly certain that will get you further in the install process and then GAM will crash when the script tries to run it for the first time.

You can also try:

bash <(curl -s -S -L https://gam-shortn.appspot.com/gam-install) -a x86_64

to tell the install script you are running on an Intel Mac (another lie) and I think that lie might work since Mac M1 devices can run x86_64 apps, they just run slower than arm64 apps but that might not be perceivable. GitHub Actions offers MacOS 13 build machines for Intel Macs so GAM uses them to support older devices (again, not something we can control here).

Lastly, you could upgrade to MacOS 14 or even 15 (just released) to fix the issue.

Whatever you chose, do let us know how it turns out.

If neither of Jay's suggestions work and you can't upgrade your Mac at the moment, try this and report back - bash <(curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3/master/src/gam-install.sh) -l Ross

Thank-you jay0lee and taers232c for the quick responses.

bash <(curl -s -S -L https://gam-shortn.appspot.com/gam-install) -l -b 14.0
"Sorry, you are running MacOS 13.6.9 but GAM on arm64 requires MacOS 14. Exiting."

(This is on my other computer with 13.6.9 instead of 13.7)

bash <(curl -s -S -L https://gam-shortn.appspot.com/gam-install) -a x86_64
"You are running MacOS 13.6.9, good. Using GAM with macos-x86_64.tar.xz."
"ERROR: No version of python installed."

Note, I'm having the same problem as described here: https://groups.google.com/g/google-apps-manager/c/i9PfQwLcM6M in that MacOS 13.6.9 doesn't seem to have a working python3.

Installed Python 3.12.6

Reran: bash <(curl -s -S -L https://gam-shortn.appspot.com/gam-install) -a x86_64

Install proceeded. I skipped setting up Google API Project.

It appeared to hang at:
"Here's information about your new GAM installation:"
So I ctrl-c'd it.

It connects to my existing domain correctly. Thank-you both!
