07:21.06 prathvi hello
07:21.17 Rakete1111 hello again :)
07:21.44 prathvi i downloaded the dmg and copied into the application folder but its still failing to run
07:21.52 prathvi i am using a mac
07:22.54 Rakete1111 I have no ideas about mac, sorry :( Maybe gabbar1947 can help you?
07:23.53 prathvi it says I need x11
07:25.09 Rakete1111 It looks like mac doesn't support X11 anymore. I have no idea but Apple supports recommends XQuartz instead, which is basically a wrapper or something :)
07:25.21 Rakete1111 So you might want to try that out.
07:30.24 gabbar1947 Ya, I had resolved this issue manually
07:30.38 gabbar1947 try installing 7.22 if it doesn't give an error
07:31.42 prathvi ok trying
07:31.52 gabbar1947 or try with X quartz
07:31.54 gabbar1947 it works
07:36.33 prathvi hey i also am interested in taking part in the banner task (brl cad)
07:36.51 prathvi any suggestions of how it should be designed
07:42.25 Rakete1111 The task gives you some suggestions, if you haven't already seen them. I haven't no, sorry :(
07:48.54 prathvi i think it is running now
07:49.03 prathvi i can see a black window and a white window
07:50.44 brlcad you need to install X11
07:51.26 gabbar1947 what version is it prathvi ?
07:52.00 prathvi i used x quartz and ran it
07:52.13 prathvi version is 7.24.0
07:52.25 prathvi that is the latest dmg
07:52.37 prathvi given on the website
07:52.48 gabbar1947 sounds good !
07:52.54 prathvi and there is no need to install x11 when you have x quartz
07:58.30 prathvi when i run tops it says error database is not open
08:00.49 brlcad xquartz is x11
08:01.18 brlcad there are sample databases inside of the application bundle
08:01.41 prathvi thanks :)
08:01.49 prathvi just figured it out
08:01.52 brlcad just run File -> Open -> Example Geometry
08:02.01 prathvi i drew a cube
08:02.07 prathvi and now did rt :)
08:02.10 brlcad there's more interesting samples ;)
08:02.26 prathvi i shall see them ;)
08:02.49 brlcad they're mostly simple demos, but there are a handful that are interesting
08:03.00 brlcad like tank_car.g
08:04.25 brlcad now that you're up and running, you can get credit for the beginner setup task, then try the two tutorial tasks
08:04.43 brlcad at least that's what I'd suggest
08:06.29 prathvi this is really exciting , excited to do more tasks
