Installation on Mac OS X

Its pretty simple to install Inksmoto in Mac OS X. You just need 4 things.

Required software

  • Inkscape 0.48
  • Python 2.5
  • PIL 1.1.7a2
  • Inksmoto 0.6.0

Note: Inksmoto 0.6.0 is not compatible with Inkscape 48.1, nor 48.2. 0.47 and 0.48 are both compatible with it.

Mac OS X versions that work with Inkscape 0.48 is listed here:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
  • Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
  • Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
  • Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
  • Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks(Recently, tested by Ade626).
  • Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite(Recently, tested by me)

Downloading and installing dependencies

Download the Inkscape 0.48 from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/inkscape/0.48/Inkscape-0.48.0-1-LEOPARD%2B.dmg/download

After its finished, open the .dmg and drag the Inkscape.app into your Applications folder, to install it.

Python 2.5: http://pythonmac.org/packages/py25-fat/dmg/python-2.5-macosx.dmg

PIL 1.1.7a2: http://effbot.org/media/downloads/PIL-1.1.7a2-py2.5-macosx10.5.mpkg.zip

Install them.

Installing Inksmoto

Download Inksmoto 0.6.0 from here: http://download.tuxfamily.org/xmoto/svg2lvl/0.6.0/inksmoto-0.6.0.tar.gz

Unzip it with the appropriate Mac OS X tool, then drag the contents of the extracted extensions directory, into your Inkscape extensions folder.

Then, launch Inkscape to test if everything is properly installed and works correctly.

Downloading the .dmg to everything

If you don't like installing Inksmoto manually, you can grab the dmg that comes with Inkscape 0.48, Python 2.7, PIL 1.1.7a2, and Inksmoto 0.6.0(Already installed onto Inkscape) here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/159987131/Inksmoto%20Mac%20OS%20X%20DMGS/Inkscape-0.48-Inksmoto-0.6.0-macosx-LEOPARD+.dmg

Just make sure you read the README file of how to install Inksmoto. Its Universal, so it will work for PPC and Intel macs.

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.
