Please make sure that you understand\n- the risks associated with running applications with elevated privileges.\n- In the future, this app will drop privileges to minimize the number tasks run\n- as root, but currently everything is run with elevated privileged.\n```\n\nTo run the app, execute the following command in terminal:\n```bash\nsudo ~/Applications/zfsgui.app/Contents/MacOS/zfsgui\n```\nYou can close the terminal now - ZFSgui will continue to run in the system tray.\n\n### Building the app\n\nYou will need to download sources for the following libraries:\n- openzfsonosx/zfs\n\nand install the following python dependencies:\n\n- Cython (from pip)\n- PyInstaller (from pip)\n- pyobjc-framework-Cocoa (from pip)\n- PySide2 (from pip)\n- watchdog (from pip)\n- rejsmont/py-libzfs (after #72 PR, freenas/py-libzfs)\n\nFirst, download the sources and prepare the python environment:\n\n```bash\nmkdir -p ~/src\ncd ~/src\ngit clone https://github.com/rejsmont/zfsgui.git\ngit clone https://github.com/rejsmont/py-libzfs.git\ngit clone https://github.com/openzfsonosx/zfs.git\nmkdir -p ~/src/zfsgui/env\ncd ~/src/zfsgui/env\n/usr/local/bin/python3 -m venv production\nsource ~/src/zfsgui/env/production/bin/activate\n```\n\nNow, let's install the python dependencies:\n\n```bash\npip install --upgrade pip\npip install cython pyobjc-framework-Cocoa pyinstaller pyside2 watchdog \n```\n\nWe need to build `py-libzfs` macOS branch and install it:\n\n```bash\ncd ~/src/py-libzfs\nautoconf \u0026\u0026 ./configure\nsed -i '' 's/2\\.7/3\\.7/' ./Makefile\nmake\npython setup.py install\n```\n\nFinally, you can build the app bundle:\n\n```bash\ncd ~/src/zfsgui\npyinstaller zfsgui.spec\nmkdir -p ~/Applications\ncp -rv dist/zfsgui.app ~/Applications\n```\n\nDone!\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frejsmont%2Fzfsgui","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frejsmont%2Fzfsgui","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frejsmont%2Fzfsgui/lists"}
