Install brew if not already installed

https://brew.sh/

use brew to install pyenv

brew install pyenv

pyenv requires additional steps to ensure that your shell checks for python in your pyenv directory instead of the default system python. Follow the instructions in the link below, starting at step 2, for whatever shell your machine uses. The Apple silicon machines default to ZSH and not Bash.

For MacOS users, adding this should work:

alias python='python3'

# pyenv
alias brew='env PATH="${PATH//$(pyenv root)\/shims:/}" brew'
eval "$(pyenv init -)"

In order to successfully build Python on your machine, you will need to install some dependencies needed for the build to succeed:

brew install openssl readline sqlite3 xz zlib

Then, we can build and install Python:

pyenv install 3.9.9

We should update pip, Python's dependency manager:

pip install --upgrade pip

Add the following .zprofile and reload your shell, either by source .zprofile or by opening a new window:

export LDFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/include -L/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/lib"

Now pull the repo and install it

cd ~
git clone [email protected]:zriddle/scriptps.git
cd scriptps/py-applescript
python setup.py install
cd ..
python setup.py install
