Thanks Count Morado, tried following the advice "Navigate to and run TalesOfAndrogyny.exe on Windows, Tales of Androgyny Mac.app on Mac, or TalesOfAndrogyny on Linux (note that on Mac and Linux you may need to run chmod -x Tales of Androgyny Mac.app/TalesOfAndrogyny respectively). The game should launch, and the installation is complete!"
However I get "zsh: command not found: Tales" when typing "Tales of Androgyny Mac.app" in Terminal on Mac.
Ok, first things first. When you type
Tales of Androgyny Mac.app at the prompt, Terminal will interpret the first word (Tales) as the command you wish to execute. Of course, this command doesn't exist.
This is the way to fix the two most common things that might have gone wrong, namely
- the app is quarantined by Gatekeeper because it's from an unknown developer;
- the executable inside the app might have lost its execute permission during unzipping
To check quarantine, start Terminal and type "xattr " without the quotes at the prompt and drag the Tales of Androgyny Mac app into the Terminal window. Terminal will fill out the path for you. Mind there is a space between the command and said path. Hit enter. If you see
com.apple.quarantine in the results, the app is quarantined.
To remove the quarantine, type "xattr -d com.apple.quarantine " without the quotes at the prompt and drag the app again into the window. Again mind there is a space between the command and the path. Hit enter. Quarantine should now be removed.
To check the second case, you need to look into the contents of the app: right click on Tales of Androgy Mac app and pick Show package contents. Navigate to /Contents/MacOS/. Inside that folder you'll see a file
TalesOfAndrogyny. That file should be a Unix executable. If it's anything else, it has lost its execute permission.
To fix this, start Terminal and type "chmod a+x " without the quotes at the prompt and drag
this file inside the Terminal window. Terminal will fill out the path for you. Again mind there is a space between the command and the path. Hit enter. The file should now be executable.
While you're there, at /Contents/Resourses you will find
TalesOfAndrogyny.jar. This is the file you need to replace if you want to upgrade the game with the latest weeklies that are posted here, assuming that you managed to get the app running of course.
As a general precaution, make a duplicate of the app first before changing its attributes or permissions.
