Current macOS workaround, if Git LFS fails

[Brilator]

Problem

The ARCitect installed on macOS from a .dmg file (ARCitect-0.0.x.dmg) currently fails to detect Git LFS installed on your system.

To find out, whether this is the case, you can try to download the ARC called "ArcPrototype":

1. Select the "Download ARC" panel in ARCitect sidebar
2. Search for ArcPrototype
3. Click the download button.

If Git LFS cannot be detected, you will see the following warning:

Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.

You will still see the ArcPrototype folder downloaded, but it will not be complete and intact.
Please go ahead and delete it.

Solution

Instead of opening the ARCitect app via double-click, you can open it from the terminal.

1. Open a terminal
2. Run this command open /Applications/ARCitect.app/Contents/MacOS/ARCitect

💡 This assumes that you followed the default installation from the ARCitect-0.0.x.dmg.

Check

To check, that ARCitect now works smoothly including Git LFS, try again to download the "ArcPrototype".

✅ Complete
