This will work for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and higher, including 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard, 10.7 Lion, and 10.8 Mountain Lion. Download the right dmg for your right Mac OS X version.

  • For Mac OS X Tiger 10.4:

Read the README file of how to install Inksmoto for OS X.

Download and install dependencies

First, we need Inkscape, Python, PIL, and X11/XQuartz. X11 has shipped with Mac OS X since 10.5.

Make sure you have the right XQuartz version for your software version.

X11/XQuartz: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/Releases

Install XQuartz, then restart your computer or log out and log back in.

Next, download Inkscape from the Internet. Here is a list of recommended and latest versions of Inkscape that you might want to use.

Inkscape 48.1 for Mac OS X Leopard(If your lower than 10.5.8): http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/inkscape/0.48.1/Inkscape-0.48.1-1-LEOPARD%2B.dmg/download

Inkscape 48.2 for Mac OS X Leopard(If your on 10.5.8 or higher), 10.6 Snow Leopard, 10.7 Lion, and 10.8 Mountain Lion: http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/inkscape/0.48.2/Inkscape-0.48.2-1-SNOWLEOPARD.dmg/download

You can download other versions of Inkscape here, but make sure you got the correct version that works: http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/inkscape/

Installing Inkscape

To install Inkscape, put the Inkscape.app into your Applications folder.

Downloading and installing Python and PIL

Next, install Python and PIL.

Python 2.5 works on 10.3 and later(but meant for Tiger): http://pythonmac.org/packages/py25-fat/dmg/python-2.5-macosx.dmg

Python 2.7 work on 10.5 or higher: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7/python-2.7-macosx10.5.dmg

PIL 1.1.7a2(Even though it says Python 2.5, its compatible with Python 2.7): http://effbot.org/media/downloads/PIL-1.1.7a2-py2.5-macosx10.5.mpkg.zip

Install Python and PIL.

Installing Inksmoto 0.6.0

Next, download and install Inksmoto 0.6.0 from here: http://download.tuxfamily.org/xmoto/svg2lvl/0.6.0/inksmoto-0.6.0.tar.gz

Extract it with the appropriate Mac OS X tool, and copy all of the files from the extracted extensions directory, and paste into the Inkscape extensions folder.

/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/extensions

Test the installation to see if its ok

There is a couple of ways to test to see if Inksmoto 0.6.0 is properly installed correctly.

  • 1st way, go to the "Extensions/Effects" menu to see if the is an Xmoto extensions menu.
  • 2nd way, save the .svg as a X-Moto level(.lvl).

If you still have any problems, come by the IRC or the X-Moto chat to see why it failed.
