Desiderata

  • Get this into the README
  • Specifically, put the pip3 stuff for automon in the automon README
  • Discuss whether it can be scripted or something

I believe I had to do the following things on my M1 mac to be able to run bbserver (nee jsbrain_server) locally. Huge thanks to Adam!

  1. Install Chromium with Homebrew: brew install chromium (but maybe this would've happened on its own via npm install? I flailed around trying a lot of things and now who knows which things were actually necessary, and, unfortunately, which things I did that I forgot I did)

  2. Unquarantine Chromium (also not sure if this was necessary):

$ xattr /Applications/Chromium.app
com.apple.quarantine
$ xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Chromium.app
  1. Set some environment variables (see Puppeteer needs environment variables set #264). This was the final thing that made it suddenly work.

  2. Install Python packages for automon with pip3
