Mac Add To Library Path

Follow these steps to install a library in Mac OSX.
  • Oct 08, 2008  I'm trying to install imagemagick, which needs to add its 'lib' path to DYLD LIBRARYPATH in order to work. As I understand it, DYLD LIBRARYPATH is a colon separated list of directories that Darwin searches when a process asks for a library. That makes sense, but I can't figure out how to add imagemagick's library to the list.
  • Dec 20, 2018  Add Your User Library To Favorites! If you decide that you want regular access to your user library folder, another method that works is opening up a temporary library window using one of the above ways and then click and hold the Library icon shown at the bottom Path Bar and drag that library icon to your Favorites column in the sidebar.
  • In order to complete those tasks, you most likely have to use a command from a library or software package installed (like Python) on your system. By default, most of these programs will add their own custom shortcuts to the Windows environment variables. The most used environment variable in Windows is probably the PATH variable. It basically.
  • Add to the PATH on Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and up. After the node.js installer finished, it recommended to add /usr/local/share/npm/bin to my path. It turns out there is a very neat way to do this in OS X, the /etc/paths file! The file contains a list (one per line).

Nov 02, 2017  - Typing in the serial number into the Native Access dialog that comes up when you click add library - it says the code is not valid. Well, I changed the path of the content folder in Native Access to where this library resided - I hope it would lick it up like Art Vista - but no dice so I changed it back.


Close the Arduino IDE

First make sure that all instances of the Arduino IDE are closed. The IDE only scans for libraries at startup. It will not see your new library as long as any instance of the IDE is open!

Download the Zip File

Make sure to select a released version of the library. Some library repositories are still in development, and may contain unreleased or untested code. The 'Releases' button takes you to the tested and released versions.

  1. Click the 'Releases' button on the Github repository page to find the released version of the library.
  2. Then download the zip file.

Find it in the Downloads Folder

OSX will automatically open the zip file there.

Drag it to your Libraries Folder

Open your sketchbook Libraries folder and drag the master folder from Downloads into it.

Give it a Legal Name

The IDE will not recognize folders with dashes in the name. So you must rename the Github Master Folder. Underscores are OK!

Re-start the IDE

Restart the Arduino IDE and verify that the library appears in the File->Examples menu.
Load one of the library examples to test.

Verify that it Compiles

Click the check-mark icon in the upper left and verify that the example sketch compiles without errors.

< OpenSCAD User Manual

OpenSCAD uses three library locations, the installation library, built-in library, and user-defined libraries.

  1. The Installation library location is the libraries directory under the directory where OpenSCAD is installed.
  2. The Built-In library location is O/S dependent. Since version 2014.03, it can be opened in the system specific file manager using the 'File->Show Library Folder..' menu entry.
    • Windows: My DocumentsOpenSCADlibraries
    • Linux: $HOME/.local/share/OpenSCAD/libraries
    • Mac OS X: $HOME/Documents/OpenSCAD/libraries
  3. The User-Defined library path can be created using the OPENSCADPATH Environment Variable to point to the library(s). OPENSCADPATH can contain multiple directories in case you have library collections in more than one place, separate directories with a semi-colon for Windows, and a colon for Linux/Mac OS. For example:
Windows: C:UsersA_userDocumentsOpenSCADMyLib;C:Thingiverse StuffOpenSCAD Things;D:test_stuff
(Note: For Windows, in versions prior to 2014.02.22 there is a bug preventing multiple directories in OPENSCADPATH as described above, it uses a colon (:) to separate directories. A workaround, if your libraries are on C: is to leave off the drive letter & colon, e.g. Thingiverse StuffOpenSCAD Things:stuff. For more about setting Windows environment variables, see User Environment Variables.
Linux/Mac OS: /usr/lib:/home/mylib:.
OpenSCAD will need to be restarted to recognise any change to the OPENSCADPATH Environment Variable.

When you specify a non-fully qualified path and filename in the use <..> or include <..> statement OpenSCAD looks for the file in the following directories in the following order:

  • the directory of the calling .scad file
  • the User-Defined library paths (OPENSCADPATH)
  • the Built-In library (i.e. the O/S dependent locations above)
  • the Installation library

In the case of a library file itself having use <..> or include <..> the directory of the library .scad file is the 'calling' file, i.e. when looking for libraries within a library, it does not check the directory of the top level .scad file.

For example, with the following locations and files defined: (with OPENSCADPATH=/usr/lib:/home/lib_os:.)

The following include <..> statements will match to the nominated library files

Since 2014.03, the currently active list of locations can be verified in the 'Help->Library Info' dialog.

The details info shows both the content of the OPENSCADPATH variable and the list of all library locations. The locations will be searched in the order they appear in this list. For example;

Setting OPENSCADPATH[edit]

In Windows, Environment Variables are set via the Control panel, select System, then Advanced System Settings, click Environment Variables. Create a new User Variable, or edit OPENSCADPATH if it exists.

On Linux (probably also on Mac), to simply add the environment variable to all users, you can type in terminal:sudo sh -c 'echo 'OPENSCADPATH=$HOME/openscad/libraries' >>/etc/profile'to set the OPENSCADPATH to openscad/libraries under each user's home directory. For more control on environment variables, you'll need to edit the configuration files; see for example this page.

If the information under Sharing & Permissions isn't visible, click, then make sure the 'Ignore ownership on this volume' checkbox is selected. Drag your library to its new location on the external drive. How to change location of photos library mac. If you see an error, select your external drive's icon in the Finder, then choose File Get Info. If it's not selected, click to unlock it, enter an administrator name and password, then select the checkbox.

OpenSCAD bundles the MCAD library.

There are many different forks floating around (e.g.[1], [2], [3]) many of them unmaintained.

MCAD bundles a lot of stuff, of varying quality, including:

Osx Add To Path

  • Many common shapes like rounded boxes, regular polygons and polyeders in 2D and 3D
  • Gear generator for involute gears and bevel gears.
  • Stepper motor mount helpers, stepper and servo outlines
  • Nuts, bolts and bearings
  • Screws and augers
  • Material definitions for common materials
  • Mathematical constants, curves
  • Teardrop holes and polyholes

The git repo also contains python code to scrape OpenSCAD code, a testing framework and SolidPython, an external python library for solid cad.
