====== Frequently Asked Questions for Operating Systems Other than Linux ======

Since some of you struggle with our setup on your OS of choice, we are summarising the hints and tips from your colleagues below.
There are no guarantees that they will work in your case, as we are unable to verify them.

===== Windows =====

Use PowerShell rather than the Command Line.

===== Mac OS on AMD64 (M2) =====

  - Activate Rosetta (see [[https://support.apple.com/en-la/102527|this link]])
  - Download x86 version of CoppeliaSim
  - Create a virtual environment with Python x86 (for example using Conda)

<code bash>
  CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-64 conda create -n uir python=3.10 -y
  conda activate uir
  conda config --env --set subdir osx-64
</code>

If issues stil persists:
   - copy ''liblua.5.3.dylib'' from ''/Applications/CoppeliaSim.app/Contents/Frameworks/'' to ''<path-to-resource-pack>/hexapod_robot/hexapod_sim/vrep_api/''.
   - update path to the lua in ''remoteApi.dylib'' via: ''install_name_tool -change @executable_path/../Frameworks/liblua.5.3.dylib @loader_path/liblua.5.3.dylib “<path-to-resource-pack>/hexapod_robot/hexapod_sim/vrep_api/remoteApi.dylib”'' 

If running t1*.py script fails with no remote server running:
   - run ''simRemoteApi.start(19997)'' in CoppeliaSim command line
