AI in Archicad: the Mac - installation-prozess is much too complicated for me

[Hmooslechner]

On the new AI - pictue-maker, i have some problems installing it on Mac:

https://graphisoft.com/solutions/innovation/archicad-ai-visualizer#inspiration

On my macbook pro: I did copy the addon in the right folder and it starts in Archicad, but its not possible for me to install the AI correctly with the Terminal-Window-command from the install-description. https://assets.graphisoft.com/guides/AI_Visualizer/AI_Visualizer-Installation_Guide.pdf

When i copy the 

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

into the terminal - i get this:

I get the exact same issue. I’m pretty Mac savvy and can’t work out what’s going on. It would be good to understand why it doesn’t work and what I’m doing wrong.

And in English:

Hello Heimo,

Important: Commands normally require root rights. Please read these instructions first.

First of all - the script was not invented by GS, but comes from the homebrew website. What is homebrew? It is a package manager for macOS/Linux. To make it work, you have to install the Xcode command line tools first. You can see how to do this here:
https://docs.brew.sh/Installation
Then first
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Then execute this command
/opt/homebrew/bin/brew install cmake protobuf rust python@3.10 git wget

This installs all the components required by the AI. The experienced Linux/Unix user will see that the homebrew directory is created in the root directory. Therefore, either log in as root beforehand or prefix all commands with sudo (superuser do). The system will then ask for the admin password before the first execution.

Brew can also be installed alternatively via a pkg. installer.

tried it on windows in the meantime - it seems to work in the terminal window - but from the plugin in Archicad, i get some failure-alert after some time.  I think, i wait till its fully develop'd with a simple installation-process.

Works for me on MacOS, but there are two things worth mentioning.
1. do not overwrite the existing Add-On folder - the information in the installation guide is misleading.

2. make sure to have at least 80+ GB free space on your hard drive. You will download tons of data.

best regards

Yes, it's to complicated and how to uninstall all the stuff?

[torben_wadlinger]

That's easy:

/opt/homebrew/bin/brew uninstall cmake protobuf rust python@3.10 git wget

Markus did it again...

Works perfectly here on my M1 Max MBP, I guess I have to skip work this afternoon...

Cheers
