I started down that track but decided it wasn't worth the hassle as mucking with such files is not one for the fainthearted and would require major elevated permissions in OS X which I decided not to pursue. One possible option is to temporarily trick OS X to tell the installer that it is "Version 10.7.x" for instance and restore things afterwards. No simple deletions or edits would solve those. The problem is that it appears that this or similar code is locked in compiled binaries within the installation package. Now this particular piece of code is in a simple text file that can be edited and therefore easily bypassed by cloning the DMG and saving the edits. It then wrongly assumes your environment does not meet the minimum requirement of OS X 10.7.x. Both strings will fail the first test regex. If you run "/usr/bin/sw_vers -productVersion" in Terminal, it will return something like "10.11.6" for El Capitan or "10.13.3" for High Sierra. It appears they ASSUMED that OS X numbering would never go beyond 10.9.x but as Confucius famously said, "Assumption is the Mother of all Screwups". Similarly abort the process if the OS X Version is 10.6.x and the Chip Architecture is not Power PC. If the OS X Version is not in the 10.7 to 10.9 range or the Chip Architecture is not Intel, abort the process. If * & $ARCH != ppc ]] thenįor the non programmers, this says get the OS X Version and the Chip Architecture. Now what I did may not be an option for you. Then I could take the Mavericks system to El Capitan with NX-2 working as it should.
#Giphy capture 10.11.6 install#
I was then able to install the 2.4.6 update. After erasing the SSD and cloning it again, I installed Mavericks. What I wound up having to do was a two-step upgrade.
#Giphy capture 10.11.6 update#
As it turned out, I couldn't install the update under El Capitan, even though version 2.4.5 was on the drive and functional. While doing so, I thought I would upgrade NX-2 to version 2.4.6 so that I could use the Raw2Nef software if I ever needed to (in case Santa had an extra D5 on the sleigh. I bought an external SSD to use to upgrade my Snow Leopard system and create a dual boot Snow Leopard/El Capitan system. I remember reading that a fresh install of NX-2 under El Capitan was problematic (and presumably on newer operating systems as well). If so, you might be able to use Migration Assistant to move your applications (and whatever else) to the new machine.
Did you have NX-2 installed on an older Mac and then bought a new one?
