Can someone help me? I have a proposal deadline approaching and I would really need to prepare some graphics for that. I tried googling but I can't find simple enough instructions or help. The terminal window is a mile long and it looks like the install worked, but my question is. However, when I start Inkscape, it just keeps bouncing in the "dock" (sorry, can't describe it better ) for a while and then nothing happens. Hello I am pretty sure I installed Inkscape 0.92 via the Terminal and using x11 and Macports, it sure took long enough and I can see that lots of stuff got installed into my mac running Sierra. Then I downloaded 0.91 version of the Inkscape and installed it. I have previously used Inkscape on my windows PC, but now I have trouble installing it to my mac.įirst I dowloaded XQuartz (XQuartz-2.7.7.dmgĒ.7.7), installed it, restarted my computer.

Like I said, I'm not a tech person, so I'm not sure if this is a huge deal that they are different and that I didn't see the # Leopard onward. # Warn the user about time-consuming generation of fontconfig caches.test -d $/.inkscape-etc/.fccache-new"|| exit 12 ![]() I know that it said it would take several minutes, so I wasn't sure if the 7+ minutes I gave for it to load was not long enough or if there is something else.Īdditionally, the suggested corrections tells you to change This last time I didn't touch anything and left it to go through all 3 pop-up windows and then return to the first and let that sit for over 7 minutes with nothing happening. This happens ever time I try to open Inkscape. I have to QUIT (windows Q) to get out of it. I cannot right click, F9 to see all screens or anything else. Again, during all of this my screen is completely black. After a few seconds this disappears too and return to the original pop-up window that reads "bash-3.2$". That one also has a highlighted box to click, but it is grayed out. I click that "return arrow", then after a few more seconds a 3rd pop-up window appears with a red circle with a - (dash) in it along with many more of the little boxes. It has a highlighted box to click, however it does not say anything, but has what looks like a "return arrow" (in blue) and then more of the little boxes on it. After a few seconds a 2nd pop-up window appears with a yellow warning sign, with a - (dash) in it, along with a lot of little boxes. When I double click on Inkscape from my Dock it takes a few seconds, then turns my entire screen black with a small pop-up that reads "bash-3.2$". I'm not very tech savvy, but have tried many of the suggestions online, with no luck. I have version 0.48.2 of Inkscape and 2.7.4 of xQuartz. More extensive information can be found on the Inkscape FAQ.I have read through the 2 suggested links and neither helped fix my problem launching Inkscape.

A prompt will ask about the location of X11. Add Inkscape to your Applications folder. ![]() Restart the computer or log out and back in to complete the XQuartz installation.Note that Inkscape currently doesn't work well with M1. Specific instructions on installing XQuartz and support are found at the XQuartz web site. In this tutorial, we'll go over how to install Inkscape in Linux, Windows and Mac. dmg file (64bit) is for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and later and requires XQuartz. If you can help with packaging for OS X, please get in touch with the small group of developers that has formed to work on this together via the inkscape-devel IRC Chat channel or the developers' mailing list. ![]()
