not working under macOS

[paxcoder]

Hi.
some people told me that this will work under macOS, but installation fails, because the script is trying to install it in a location that is locked, due to security.

You can run it without installing to /usr/bin, right from the git directory. I don't know all that much about the Mac, but I suspect only the pty mode will work, and you may need to change the keyboard layout to pty2. I am not sure what, if any other changes would need to be made.

@stormdragon2976 is right, you can start fenrir just from git without need of any installation. but you need to install the required dependencies.
the most important one for you seems to be:

• pyte (pythton modul for terminal emulation)
• sox (for sound output)
• espeak-ng (for basic TTS)
• pyenchant (for spellchecking)

the you can just go to your local cloned git location
<gitroot>/src/fenrir -e

the parameter -e uses the terminal emulation mode. so it reads the information from stin / stout and sterr and presents it to you.

Hi

I have tried it this way.
And got:
fernir -e
Not to work:

(myenv) ➜ src git:(master) ✗ ./fenrir -e
