Senaite LIMS Installation on Mac

Hello,

I really love the Senaite LIMS GUI and functionality. I’m trying to install it on our communal lab desktop Mac. The documentation says that it can be installed on Mac OS X, but it doesn’t specify how that would be done. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions to get it up and running? Thank you!

Hi, start with the Plone 4.3.19 unified installer, get that running, then add the eggs to the buildout.cfg

Installation on MacOS works as well, but needs additional packages installed via Homebrew.

from SENAITE Documentation:

I have tried installing senaite against Xcode’s canned version of Python 2.7.16 because homebrew has dropped support for Python 2.7 and no longer offers it as an installable version. I was able to run the plone unified installer but its failing to complete because it can’t find Pillow=5.1
