Basic instructions for macOS (High Sierra) about nzbhydra2 HOT 10 CLOSED

Thank you.

Those java options are extracted from the python obfuscation

The wrapper script works on macOS (after you install PyYAML).

Until then things like restart won't work

It works with the wrapper script.

I'll remove the PyYAML dependency soon (it's just used to read one single entry).

In the long term I hope to replace the python based wrapper with a leaner custom written, but that will have to wait until the base program runs fine.

install/maintain two languages and an add-on package

Python is part of macOS, so requiring Python isn't really an issue.

my first choice of JRE (SE 9)

Fortunately, I have a much older version installed from the last time a program I wanted to run was unfortunately written in Java 😜

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think if you install the JDK instead of the JRE, you get a /usr/bin/java command, which saves faffing around trying to figure out where your JRE is installed.

In any case, I have a /usr/bin/java. I can't remember exactly why, but I certainly didn't put it there myself.

leaner custom written

The Python wrapper runs in about 0.1s. Given that the app proper takes 200x longer to start up, I'd say there's little to be gained by optimising the wrapper.

It's more about the file size and memory usage.

PyYAML dependency is gone.

The new wrapper works (with the stock version of python) if I specify a value for xmx, but if I don't the parameter list looks like it has an embedded cr after 128 and before "M" and java complains. I've stared at the code and don't see it.

Other than that everything looks good.

Except that nzbhydra1 does not run with the shipping version of python (2.7.10)

We're talking about NZBHydra 2, and I'm running it right now with the system 2.7.10.

Yes, it does, which is why my first suggestion

But your recommendation was the minimal JRE…

Thank you for playing

If you're going to be rude, at least try to be correct as well…

@Alrescha-git Thanks for the contribution :-)
