IMAGER can be installed on a Mac OS unit through MacPorts.
The most recent version of IMAGER (April 2024) is available for installation through MacPorts.
How to install
Enter the following commands in a terminal window. To do so, you need to have MacPorts already installed, see next section below if needed.
$ sudo port selfupdate# To make sure you have an up-to-date version$ sudo port install imager# Install IMAGER
You may have to Activate IMAGER because of a conflict with GILDAS. Depending on your MacPorts version, one of the two following solutions may work. Try this one first:
- $ sudo port -f activate imager # Force IMAGER activation if needed, to overrun the obsolete “imager” version in Gildas (if installed)
If it fails, the only solution is to switch between GILDAS and IMAGER, but both cannot be active at once:
$ sudo port deactivate gildas# Deactivate GILDAS$ sudo port activate imager# Activate IMAGER- in the latter case, you can switch back and forth between GILDAS and IMAGER by deactivating one and activating the other.
