  2. Install homebrew

    • Execute this from Terminal ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
    • Make sure you have a clean homebrew environment. You can double-check it by brew doctor

Then install seafile from homebrew

  brew tap Chilledheart/seafile
  brew install seafile-client

If you face any installation issue, please report it with your homebrew logs

If it is an issue while using homebrewed seafile, please report it with your seafile logs

Problem you may encounter

  1. If install_name_tool reports "malformed object" "unknown load command", It may be the version of xcode command line tools incompatible with install_name_tool.
  2. If xcode can't find glib, Corrects xcode's "build settings/search paths/header search".
