To install Inkscape, simply drag the Inkscape.app into your Applications folder.

Downloading and installing Python and PIL

Next, we need to get Python, and PIL.

Python 2.5 for 10.3.9 and later(but its meant for Tiger only): http://pythonmac.org/packages/py25-fat/dmg/python-2.5-macosx.dmg

If your on Mac OS X 10.5 or higher, then download Python 2.7 here: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7/python-2.7-macosx10.5.dmg

PIL 1.1.7a2(Both works for Python 2.5, and 2.7): http://effbot.org/media/downloads/PIL-1.1.7a2-py2.5-macosx10.5.mpkg.zip

Follow the on-screen instructions for installing Python and PIL.

Installing Inksmoto 0.6.0

Next, download 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, then copy the files from the extracted extensions directory, into the Inkscape extensions folder.

Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/extensions

Then launch Inkscape, and test to see if Inksmoto 0.6.0 is installed and working properly.

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.
