NativeBridge OSX

#Installation

download: pwvault_gateway_osx.py

and run it with:

python pwvault_gateway_osx.py install firefox

note: replace firefox with chrome or all, if installing for chrome/both. chrome should also work for other chromium based browsers, like Edge or Vivaldi.

This will install the native bridge for the current user. Alternatively you can append the argument --global to make it available for all users on the machine.

Note on Monterey / MacOS 12.3

MacOS used to ship with python 2 preinstalled. While python 2 has been obsolete for a while and replaced with python 3, Apple decided to no longer ship python (neither 2 nor 3) starting with Monterey / MacOS 12.3. In fact, upgrading to 12.3 will also remove the previously embedded python version.

See Issue #92 for any progress on the matter, but for now you'll need to do two things:

• download and install a standalone version of python (latest stable 3.xx should be fine)
• do one change in the downloaded pwvault_gateway_osx.py (if you have already installed, the file is found in ~/bin/pwvault_gateway_osx (or /usr/local/bin/pwvault_gateway_osx if you installed with --global)

The very first line !/usr/bin/env python should be changed to !/usr/bin/env python3 (add a 3 at the end)
