9/22/2020 Inkscape For Os X Yosemite
Nov 10, 2018 Download Mac OS X Yosemite. The OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 update improves the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac, and is recommended for all users. Jan 25, 2015 Hi, all - Just got an iMac (running OS X Yosemite) after years on PCs and I've installed Inkscape and it's up and running. I've heard about the boardgame extension here.The problem is I have no idea how to get those files, once downloaded, into the appropriate folder. There is no.dmg file for macOS for the current Inkscape version at this time. If you need a version from the 0.92 series (e.g. Because you depend on third-party extensions that have not been updated in preparation for Inkscape 1.0, please use Inkscape 0.92.2 on macOS.
This page is added as mini-TOC of Mac information on this Wiki, and a scratch pad for Mac stuff awaiting a home of its own.
Installing Inkscape
Inkscape for Mac OS X is an X client: it runs under the X Windows System. You will need an X Windows Server installed for it to work. For 10.4.x users, X11 can be installed from your installation DVD. For 10.3.x users, you can get Apple's X Server, or use XDarwin.
Since version 0.43, the Inkscape deliverable has been a disk image with a properly packaged Mac OS X Bundle --
Inkscape.app . You can simply drag the Inkscape icon to where is most convenient for you, usually your Applications folder or possibly your Desktop. This hardly warrants the grandiose title or style of 'installing', but it does mean that un-installing is simple and complete -- just drag the icon to the Trash when you are finished with Inkscape and no longer want it.
From version 0.44, the disk image will have an alias to your system-wide Applications folder, allowing you to very easily drop the Inkscape icon into the most useful place for it, and open that folder so that you can start Inkscape.
Otherwise start Inkscape by double clicking one of its documents and it will thereafter be available to you in the Dock and from the 'Recent Items' menu-item.
Inkscape command line
For many purposes you may need to execute Inkscape from the command line. For example within a LaTeX document you can update the pdf and pdf_tex files with your maths with the following command (see InkscapePDFLaTeX.pdf):
The Inkscape script is supposed to change to Inkscape's Resources directory
in order to get the correct environments for Inkscape as well as for native (Apple) Python.
But if you simply made a symbolic link to /usr/local/bin (which is in your PATH) with:
the command invoked by the default Inkscape script (0.48.1):
might not move to Inkscape's Resources directory but to /usr/local/bin.
From a terminal, even if
refers to /usr/local/bin/inkscape, a command like:
may work while:
may not work because of a different interpretation of $0 and dirname. Tricky and unsolved in the general case...
Alias Solution
The following can be added to your `~/.profile` file to create an alias that is expanded into the full Inkscape path:
You must reload your profile to see the changes:
LaTex Specific Solution
For the specific case of updating the pdf and pdf_tex files from LaTex by invoking Inkscape from command line (see InkscapePDFLaTeX.pdf), the easiest solution might be to alter the necessary LaTex preamble commands from:
to use the full Inkscape path. This is necessary when compiling LaTex through editors that don't see the aliases defined in `~/.profile`. The necessary preamble commands are then:
