- +The easiest way to get Geany installed on your system is to get the precompiled version available [[http://download.geany.org/|here]]. The app bundle requires OS X 10.7 (Lion) or higher and a 64-bit CPU. The bundle includes most of the plugins (those not requiring additional dependencies) and color themes.
-__Note:__ while MacPorts provides a Geany package, as of this writing the Geany version provided by MacPorts has some major issues (paste not working, infinite loop after using find in files). The current Geany master version already contains fixes for these issues and it is expected that Geany 1.25 will work alright with MacPorts. You can get all dependencies using MacPorts and compile the development Geany version to have fully working Geany under MacPorts. +

-To have native-looking Geany under OS X, add this to ''/opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf'':+
  
 +If you installed Geany from the dmg and want to run it from the command line:
 <code> <code>
-+no_x11 +/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany
--x11 +
-+quartz+
 </code> </code>
 +If you want to create some shortcuts or to add this path to the default path, please read this thread on GitHub
  
-Then run the following commands:+{{tag>howto macosx build build-from-source}}

 +==== Install by compiling from Sources ==== 
 +Geany compilation and creation of the above app bundle using jhbuild is explained in the [[https://github.com/geany/geany-osx|geany-osx project README]]. 
 + 
 +==== Install by using MacPorts ==== 
 + 
 +As of March 2022, you can install geany and geany-plugins (1.38) on your Apple Macintosh via MacPorts.  MacPorts is a software packaging system that brings thousands of open source software packages to the Mac operating system.  After installing MacPorts (and Apple’s Xcode developer tools), you can install geany and most of the plugin collection with: 
 + 
 +sudo port install geany-plugins 
 + 
 +If you want a leaner install, you can install just geany with:
  
-<code> 
 sudo port install geany sudo port install geany
-sudo port install gtk2-aurora #optional 
-sudo port install gtk-chtheme #optional 
-</code> 
  
-__Note:__ The ''gtk2-aurora'' and ''gtk-chtheme'' packages aren't required but they will make Geany look better. After installing, run <code>gtk-chtheme</code> and choose gtk2-aurora.+The default install of geany uses a X11 interface and so should be as similar as possible to other unix-based platforms if that is where you are coming from.  More experimental at this point, but can also install geany with a Quartz-based interface with: 
 + 
 +sudo port install geany +quartz 
 + 
 +For information on geany on MacPorts, you can look at 
 + 
 +[[https://ports.macports.org/port/geany/]] 
 + 
 +[[https://ports.macports.org/port/geany-plugins/]] 
 + 
 +geany and geany-plugins are both native and compatible with Apple-silicone macs (“M1”). 
 + 
 +To run Geany, double-click the Geany icon installed in Application/MacPorts.
  
-__Note:__ Geany's menu will be inside its main window instead of in the top panel like native applications, so it will feel slightly foreign, but it still works great.+If you run into a problem or deficiency with Geany from MacPorts, please post a message on the MacPorts-users mailing list:
  
-__Note:__ VTE 0.28.2 doesn't work without additional patching so the terminal tab isn't available.+[[https://trac.macports.org/wiki/MailingLists]]
  
-As a bonus, any other GTK+ apps you install with Macports will look at least as good as Geany does when installed this way.
