Programming Howto:Automatically Build BCI2000 on Non-Windows Platforms
Back
Navigate to the BCI2000 "trunk" directory in a finder window.
Run Install Script
Double click on the script named "install." It will begin the installation process in a new terminal window. First, it will prompt you for your Qt installation directory. If you installed Qt with homebrew this will be /opt/homebrew/Cellar/qt@5/5.15.5_1/ on apple silicon or /usr/homebrew/Cellar/qt@5/5.15.5_1/ otherwise. If neither of these locations exist and you installed Qt with homebrew, this can be found by running
brew list qt@5
in a terminal window. The installation directory is only the part of the paths that are
.../hombrew/Cellar/qt@5/<version>
Use everything up to the version and nothing past it. Drag this folder onto the window and press Enter. After you press Enter, the installation will continue without any additional user input.
Once this script finishes running, your BCI2000 will be built!
And the "prog" directory in your BCI2000 trunk will have been populated with executables.
Launch BCI2000
To launch BCI2000, navigate to the prog directory in the terminal
cd trunk/prog
and drag and drop one of the batch files from the batch folder to the terminal. You can start BCI2000 by pressing "set config" and then "start." Enjoy!
