[Guide] It's finally here! How to run bots on Macintosh Computers!

Hello everyone, today I'm showing you how to run bots on mac.

Step One

0) Download Mono
1) Select Mac OSX as above.
2) Click the first download button. It will download Mono for your mac.
3) Once you finished downloading MonoDevelop, click download for Mono + GTK#.

Step Two

1) Open Finder and Click on Applications.
2) After Clicking on Applications, click on Utilities.
3) After Clicking on Utilities, Double-Click Terminal.

Step Three

1) In the Terminal Window, type "mono " and click drag and drop the file into the window and hit enter!

There you have it - if there are and questions, PM me or post them here!
If you need even more help, download TeamViewer, and PM me!

This research has cost me money, if you would like to help pay it off, please donate

Credits

I give credit to the people who created mono, who rewrote the whole framework in C.
I give credit to my dad for buying the mac for this research.

Edit: Blacked out name in Step Three

I play on Kongregate and use a Mac. I'm currently experiencing a little difficulty with the last step. (Type "mono" then click and drag the .exe...) I would be grateful if you could show the step-by-step process for the last one through PMs. If this ends up working, you will receive +5 rep for your trouble. The inability to use bots has driven me nuts. Thanks for your research, *COUGH COUGH*

You have to type "mono " with the space.

Thanks for your research, *BLEEP*.

How do you know my name? o.e

You don't need a mac, you do almost the same thing on linux.

Do not under any circumstances give away personal information. This is your warning.

It's very clear in the rules, twice. Giving away personal information is very dangerous, and is to be regarded as the most important rule here.

Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

Alright. Seems to be working and loads all bots so far. However, I can't copy/paste using the mac because it only shows "v" when I do CMD + V. Thanks for quick response.
And +1 rep.

Okay, you have to go the file locate it in Finder, and drag the bot into the terminal windows after you previously type "mono ".
Hope that helps!

Yes, I'm past that. I was talking about actual bots where you copy/paste such things as the link to the desired world. I can't copy/paste the link and my friend, (who owns a PC) couldn't either. Even when using Teamviewer. Thanks anyway.

Does anyone have a plan to make a mac bot yet? I'm curious as to when it happens. (I don't have a Mac, I have Windows 8 PRO!! OH YEAH!(The 'OH YEAH' was exaggerated))

It is nearly impossible to do so. You can, it will just be really difficult. I tried working with MonoDevelop, but it is hard to learn. The code is like C#, but not the GUI!

Anyone that makes bots specifically for macs will be my idol and receive +5 rep. c:

I tried with MonoDevelop and it didn't load the .exe. It's easier to make with C# and use Terminal. You can't get C# to mac.

Re: [Guide] It's finally here! How to run bots on Macintosh Computers!

You can make a GTK+ GUI application with MonoDevelop, with a designer. It works on all Operating Systems, but you need to have GTK+ installed. As for WinForms, you can make an application with it but the designer is still beta. So yes, you can rather easily make a GUI C# or VB.NET application on Linux or Mac.

Also, you can't open the EXE in MonoDevelop, it can only load projects from Visual C#.

This helped me a bit, I've been looking for a way to run Key Bot on Mac, for my new level. Thanks.

Depends on the bot. If it makes any direct WinAPI calls or certain other things it will break. Also, don't expect NBot to work because it uses a self-extractor. It may only if you extract it first.

By the way guys, if you're running Debian/Ubuntu simply run:
apt-get install mono-complete

Also I still find it amusing how it says "This research has cost me money." when in reality it's open-source software and he already had the Mac.

Maybe he means it in the sense that time=money? Not sure how much the 20 minutes he used to search, download, install, and post is actually worth all that much, though.
