Installation Guides
How do I install JS8Call on my Mac?
Once downloaded open a finder window and go to where the file was downloaded to (Usually “Downloads”)
Double Click on this file and it will open the terms and conditions. Click Agree to continue
This will open a finder view of the installation package
If you have not installed JS8Call or WSJT-X before you will need configure some shared memory, if you have installed and successfully run either application you can skip this step. (Please read the ReadMe.txt file for ,more info – this is just a quick start guide)
First Drag the file named sysctl.conf from the installation package window to your Mac Desktop
Next you will need to open a terminal window and enter some commands
To do this, open Launchpad and in the find box type terminal and press enter.
now you need to enter the commands that are in the ReadMe file. Enter them exactly or it won’t work correctly.
sudo cp $HOME/Desktop/sysctl.conf /etc/
sudo chmod 664 /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo chown root:wheel /etc/sysctl.conf
Now you need to restart your Mac for the changes to take effect.
Once you have restarted then open a terminal window and enter
sysctl -a | grep sysv.shm
shmmax 14680064, if not then please refer to the ReadMe.
Now all that’s left to do is to Open the insallation package again and drag the JS8Call icon to your Applications folder
This will copy the app to your Mac and you will be able to find it in your Applications Directory in finder.
