Greaseweazle tools are installed as a Python 3 package from the Terminal command line. So, please open a terminal window (Applications > Utilities, and double-click Terminal or press Command + Space and type Terminal.).

You will need Homebrew, pipx, Python3, and Xcode tools. If you already have these you can likely skip.

First make sure you have the Xcode tools since this is also used by Homebrew. Paste or type the command:

    xcode-select --install
    

Install Homebrew to gain access to the "brew" command in the terminal. Paste or type the command:

    /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
    

Install Python via the brew command. Paste or type the command:

    brew install python
    

Install pipx via the brew command. Paste or type the command:

    brew install pipx
    

Install the GreaseWeazle Host Tools. Paste or type the command:

    pipx install git+https://github.com/keirf/greaseweazle@latest
    

Make sure GW will always be available. Paste or type the command:

    pipx ensurepath
    

Greaseweazle it will automatically appear as a /dev/cu.usbmodem device.

Close and re-open the terminal window.
