On December 30, 2010 I was able to install a working Zim wiki instance on OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on and Intel Mac.\u00a0 Here are the condensed steps.\u00a0 Total time to get up and running was just over 2 hours for me on a fresh OSX install.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Install Macports for Snow Leopard per their instructions.\u00a0 Make SURE you meet the requirements of having X11 and XCode installed already!<\/li>\n
  2. On the Zim site it says you must us the python version 2.5 files, do not you need version 2.6.\u00a0 Substitute “26” for “25” in their list which means you will need to install these packages via macports, in the following order:\n
      \n
    1. sudo port install python26<\/li>\n
    2. sudo port install py26-gtk<\/li>\n
    3. sudo port install py26-simplejson<\/li>\n
    4. sudo port install py26-xdg<\/li>\n
    5. sudo port install zim<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    6. Open up X11, and execute “zim” in a shell and it will start.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Just in case:<\/p>\n

      Python Version 2.5 would not work on my machine for a number of reasons and I was forced to back out its install.\u00a0 The backout might have left a residue, so\u00a0 when I got to the “install zim” step I was stopped twice due to unregistered packages that already seemed to be there.\u00a0 I executed these steps in order (per each stoppage) from information form the log files to solve this problem:<\/p>\n

      \n
        \n
      1. sudo port -f activate p5-module-build<\/li>\n
      2. sudo port -f activate zim<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

        You may not have to do this at all if you are starting from scratch.\u00a0 Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
