How to install CmisSync on Mac OS X

Nicolas Raoul edited this page Jun 17, 2014 · 1 revision

On Mac (OS X 10.8 or more recent):

  1. Install the MonoRuntime.
  2. Download CmisSync for Mac OS X at http://CmisSync.com
  3. Open the downloaded file, and copy the CmisSync.app to Applications folder.
  4. Run CmisSync.app.

Usage

  1. After the setup wizard, you should see a gear-like icon in the tray.
  2. Click on it and choose "Add a CMIS folder..."
  3. Enter the details of your CMIS repository. If you don't know the repository id, you can use CMIS Explorer to find out. This part will be made much simpler in the future.
  4. That's all! CmisSync should now start syncing.
  5. Enjoy the content! New features are added every day, so follow us on Twitter to be informed about the latest developments.

Troubleshooting

Crash or strange behavior

If CmisSync crashes or behaves strangely, please create an issue report here.
Please:

  1. Attach the log file. CmisSync's log file can usually be found at /Users/nico/.config/cmissync/debug_log.txt (replace nico with your user name. Note: To open the folder, use the Finder's Go-Go to Folder... command, and enter ~/.config/cmissync)
  2. Does a /Users/nico/.config/cmissync/*.cmissync file gets created?
  3. What Operating System do you use? (Windows, Mac, Linux) What version? (Vista, 7, ...) 32bit or 64bit?
  4. What CMIS server (product and version) are you using? (if you know)

Thanks a lot for helping improve CmisSync!

If you want to investigate further, typing the following command in Terminal:

tail -f ~/.config/cmissync/debug_log.txt

If things break, how to reset?

If you want to reset everything locally, so that you can start again from scratch, please do the following:

  1. Stop CmisSync.
  2. Delete all folders under /Users/nico/CmisSync (replace nico with your user name). First make sure that all of your work is saved on the server or at another location than the one you delete.
  3. Delete all of the files in the /Users/nico/.config/cmissync/ folder (replace nico with your user name).
  4. Start CmisSync.
  5. You now have zero remote folders configured. Use the "Add remote folder" menu to add some.
