If you want to setup hovercraft for creating presentations on your Mac, the following steps may help if you already have MacPorts installed.
At first install python if you haven’t already:
$#> sudo port install python33 py33-pip
As you’ll run into problems, you have to export the language for the next command to run successfully. So add these two lines to your ~/.bash_profile
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
And while we’re at it, add the following path to your PATH variable as well, so you can later access the hovercraft command directly.
$#> /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/bin
Your path then looks something like this:
$#> export PATH="/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/bin:$PATH"
Now you can finally install hovercraft like this:
$#> sudo -H pip install hovercraft
Happy hovercrafting!
