Setting up on a Mac (how to install Python 3)

[Simosa1080]

Hey I have been trying to set this up for the past few nights and cannot get it to read the mining scripts from the bin folder after I cd to the root folder.
I am pretty green to this, but I have been watching a lot of youtube and banging my head against a wall so any help is appreciated!
I have completed the other parts of the quick start menu but must be something I'm missing.

simosa@Adams-MBP ~ % cd desktop
simosa@Adams-MBP desktop % cd crabada.py
simosa@Adams-MBP crabada.py % python -m bin.mining.sendTeamsMining 0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: No module named mining

Hi @Simosa1080 ,

The bot requires Python 3, but it seems you are using Python 2.

To install Python 3 on a Mac, you can try with this tutorial:

• https://docs.python-guide.org/starting/install3/osx/

Let us know how it goes :-)

Cheers,
Cocco

EDIT: Replaced the guide with a simpler one.

I believe this should solve your issue.
Go to System Preferences on your mac then navigate to Security & Privacy then Scroll down to Full Disk Access and click the lock in the bottom to make changes. Make sure to tick cron and terminal then and close it.
Your issue should be solved now.

Thank you for your help I have installed python 3 and think I am getting close. I am now getting the below message when I run the mining script. It may be because I cant find where to get the figment API key for the .env file?

Hi @Simosa1080 ,

Please make sure you're using your private key and not the seed phrase.

You private key is a hex string and can be exported from the account settings in MetaMask.

Cheers,
Cocco

@coccoinomane Thank you for creating and sharing this script and for your help in setting it up. I have it running now and look forward to my first uninterrupted night sleep in weeks!
I have set the donation to 3% thanks again!

[coccoinomane]

Haha, thanks @Simosa1080! Given the recent price action, I wish I could receive donations in hours of sleep instead of TUS 😂

Happy snib-snibbing!
