Hello I am trying to connect Synergy to my Mac, but when reading the install guide I find myself in the position to not knowing ANY of what it says. So can anyone please dum it down a bit >.< |
|
The question was asked when Synergy was hard to install on a Mac, with 1.4.5 it's now easier:
This is also explained in the user guide (found on the help page). |

For the old 1.3 version: step 2, type > pwd(enter) - this will well you your working path step 3, i had to use > sudo su(enter) then type in your regular password (your prompt changes after this) step 4 once you are sure you are in the correct folder you can type cp synergy* /user/bin(enter) or first type ls synergy*(enter) and you should see a list of the files that you are copying to the other location e.g. mac:synergy-1.4.3-MacOSX106-Universal user$ ls synergy* synergy.conf.example synergyc synergys mac:synergy-1.4.3-MacOSX106-Universal user$ Okay thank you very much. Now this will be a sort of add to what you answered with. Anyone can answer though :) I have this: [ iMac:~ Martin$ pwd /Users/martinknudsen iMac:~ Martin$ cd Downloads/sx/ -bash: cd: Downloads/sx/: No such file or directory iMac:~ Martin$ cd Downloads/sx/ iMac:sx Martin$ sudo su WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information. To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort. Password: sh-3.2# cp synergy* /martinknudsen/bin usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file target_file cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file ... target_directory sh-3.2# ] is that the end? And how do I start the program?

cp synergy* /user/bin dont replace user with your account name. after the copy type ls /user/bin/synergy* and you should see a list of several files.

Hi I can't even get past stage 2. My username is Ryan De Freitas. I have renamed the folder name "synergy-1-1.3.7-MacOSX106-Universal" to the folder name "sx" I have opened terminal and I am entering macbookpro-9086:~ ryandefreitas$ cd/users/ryandefreitas/downloads/sx/ then I get this message: -bash: cd/users/ryandefreitas/downloads/sx/: No such file or directory macbookpro-9086:~ ryandefreitas$ Not sure what I am doing wrong. I haven't used terminal much before. Any help appreciated

ryan, You need a SPACE between the "cd" and the "/users/ryandefreitas/downloads/sx/". You are trying to cd (change directory) which is a COMMAND (must be followed by a space, then the directory where you'd like to go - in this case, your Downloads/sx directory). An alternative would be for you to type exactly what's on the next line (or simply copy/paste): cd ~/Downloads/sx (and press <enter>) The ~/ indicates your "home directory" (it really means /Users/ryandefreitas/). And note that what you type is CASE SENSITIVE (so cd /Users... is DIFFERENT from cd /users...) Hope this helps. B.
