Add macOS support

[ObaraEmmanuel]

Currently, only windows and linux are supported. Formation on macOS is untested and you will most definitely run into problems. It would be nice if someone helped bring Formation to macOS.

Hi Obara, i'm here to help :)

[ObaraEmmanuel]

Cool, you could comment on any issues you run into here and we can work to fix them ... include tracebacks for any error so it is easy for us to debug.

I'm getting this when i run formation-studio in terminal

@SatyenderSinghRana-in I think I have ironed out this issue. Try installing this particular branch like so

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/ObaraEmmanuel/Formation@macos-support

and see if it works

[SatyenderSinghRana]

I upgraded to the new branch and tried running formation-studio, looks like i'm still getting the same error

[ObaraEmmanuel]

I don't think that's the right version you are using coz line 215 is a very different thing in the mac os branch. Ensure you run the command exactly as I gave you before and ascertain that the installation is successful.... the --upgrade is very important

[SatyenderSinghRana]

I have shared the steps I followed and the message after each command

It seems you have multiple python versions installed on your computer ... while the pip installation is going to python 3.9 you are running formation-studio installed on python 3.8... uninstall the one on 3.8 or pip ugrade install to the one in 3.8.

[SatyenderSinghRana]

I uninstalled python 3.8 and 3.9 (also manually removed leftovers from library)
ran "pip freeze" followed by removing all the modules previously installed to start fresh
then installed python 3.9.2 and ran these in terminal:

1. pip3 install formation-studio
2. pip3 install --upgrade git+https://github.com/ObaraEmmanuel/Formation@macos-support
3. formation-studio

now i'm getting this

not sure how to run the package installed via pip3 for python 3.9

[ObaraEmmanuel]

The app is having problems reading the config and cache files from the previous versions ... let me remedy that .... stand by for a fix ... I'll inform you when it's done

meanwhile delete everything inside this folder

~/Library/Preferences/formation/

and try again. It will work

[SatyenderSinghRana]

Alright

[ObaraEmmanuel]

did it work?

[SatyenderSinghRana]

I uninstalled formation-studio, here are the steps with messages after uninstalling:

I hope i'm not doing anything wrong at my end? Do I need to change any path variables?

[ObaraEmmanuel]

did you delete the files i told you about?
