Install Scilab on MacOs sierra - macos-sierra

I've just updated my MacOs into MacOs High Sierra and then Scilab 6.0.0 doesn't work anymore, by unmatching with the system version. How can I fix this problem or does it exist an intermediary software or alias (like anaconda) to use scilab on mac?
Thanks

I have same problem. From what I've read Scilab 6 is not compatible with Sierra. Scilab version 5.2.2 can be made to run under Sierra and there are instructions online to do this. I haven't tried it yet so can't vouch for it.

PostgreSQL installation fails with macOS Monterey 12.4

I'm using MacOS Monterey 12.4 Intel chip, and trying Postgresql installation from
https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads I think every version for Maos.
every installation attempt turned out the same, the program crashed as soon as it wanted to choose a password, while entering any character.
can anyone help me to install?
I am having the same issue on a 2020 M1 Macbook on MacOS Monterey 12.2.1 when I try to install 14.3. I get all the way to the Provide password for database superuser. Then once entering a password the program crashes. I'll probably end up using the postgresapp version until this is fixed. The latest version of the app (14.3) is universal so it should work with the m1s (if anyone else has this problem with m1). That is the best solution I've got so far.
Edit: You may want to try installing with Homebrew as well. https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/postgresql#default. I'm going to try this later.

Visual Studio Code on Mac Sierra 10.12.5

I am using a Mac OS Sierra 10.12.5 (16F73)- Macbook Pro touch pad. I have tried running Visual Studio Code to no avail. Nothing happens, no error message, nothing. It just won't start. I have read articles or using Mac Archive Utility to unzip the downloaded zip file, i still can't get it to run. Has anyone got a solution to this?
Many thanks!
I'm also using Mac OS 10.12.5 with a Macbook Pro and recently installed vscode.
Try to redownload the file or maybe restart your computer, you shouldn't have any problems with the installation.

Using MATLAB with OS X 10

I just upgraded to OS X 10 Yosemite but cannot launch MATLAB.
I've tried opening it through terminal with:
/Applications/MATLAB_R2014a.app/bin/matlab
However this doesn't work either. Any ideas?
EDIT: I have found an answer to my question!
EDIT 11/29/2021:
DtecNet, Inc. filed a DMCA complaint on this for some reason. Guess they can't have anybody using MATLAB on Yosemite.
There is a patch out for MATLAB R2014a that I got from a classmate.
The patch allows you to be able to run MATLAB without changing any settings on your computer, just in the MATLAB app itself.
You can download a copy of the patch here.
Unfortunately MATLAB R2014a is not compatible with Yosemite, see http://www.mathworks.it/support/sysreq/roadmap.html. You should upgrade to R2014b.
There seems to be a workaround at I cannot install Matlab 2014a on OS X Yosemite 10.10 public beta.

cx_freeze on MAC 10.9 Python 2.7.6 (32/64 bit)

I have developed an app on a Window PC using Python and wxPython. For the several weeks I have been trying to migrate it to a MAC mini running 10.9, Python 2.7.6 (32/64 bit) using the Eclipse IDE with PyDev. I was NOT a MAC user prior to about three weeks ago when I purchased a used Mac mini and started working on it. Due to the fact that wxPython is a 32-bit library only I am running Python in 32-bit mode out of Eclipse - this has worked well until now I am ready to attempt and produce a stand alone app via cx_freeze and I am hitting a problem that cx_freeze is building the bundle using the 64-bit Python and it will not work with my 32-bit wx_Python library.
My question is what can I do at this point in time? Obviously, if I had been smart I would have installed the 32-bit ONLY version of Python 2.7.6 (hind sight you know), but I did not. I have gone through all the write to /Library/Preferences/com.apple.python.preference file and setting environment variables only to learn that that does not apply except to Apple installs. One solution would be to install the 32-bit ONLY Python - scared I will mess my current development environment up so that is why I am asking here for help. Also, there may be a setting in cx_freeze to accomplish this too. Any help to a "green horn" MAC person would be greatly appreciated.

Ipython option not visible in spyder

I just installed the macports versions of spyder and ipython onto my macbook pro running osx 10.8. There does not seem to be a way to open an ipython console from this version of spyder. That is, there is no mention of ipython in the Interpreters menu, nor in the preferences.
Has someone come across this problem and might know how to fix it? Many thanks.

(Spyder dev here) According to this page the latest stable IPython version in MacPorts is 1.0, which is unsupported by Spyder 2.2.3 (our latest stable release).
We are working right now to make it compatible for our next release (i.e. 2.2.4), which will be available in two weeks.
