Installing the RGSConnect command line utility for Mac
See the instructions.
Why is there only a command line version of RGSConnect for Mac?
Apple changes the requirements for Mac development every couple of months. That means that developers have to re-program their software every couple of months to keep up with Apple's demands. There is no such requirements to maintain a command line utility. Maintaining a GUI-based RGSConnect launcher for Mac was becoming too time intensive. The choices for now are no Mac client, or a command-line client.
Using the RGSConnect command line utility
- The RGSConnect command line utility is launched from a terminal window. Reference this article to learn how to launch a terminal window on a Mac.
- Inside the Mac terminal window, type
rgs
- Typing "rgs" in a terminal window will launch the text-based RGSConnect client utility within the terminal window. The output should display:
yourMacUsername@YourMac ~ % rgs Connecting to RGS Connect... CAEDM User Name:
Troubleshooting
- When I type in my password I keep getting:
Password:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/RGSConnect/rgsconnect.py", line 307, in <module>
pools=getPools(cl_user,cl_pass,settings["Host_Addr"], int(settings["Client_Port"]))
