• Geany:
  A C integrated development environment for many platforms including Mac. It is the IDE used in the labs and midterm test. There are two ways to install on a Mac. Method A goes step-by-step with the graphical interface, method B uses command line in the terminal app (method B is easier, as it installs everything at once including Xcode).
• Method A:
  1. Install Xcode to get the C compiler (Geany is only an interface, not a compiler).
  2. Go to https://www.geany.org/Download/Releases and select the current MacOS version (geany-1.38_osx-4.dmg).
  3. Click on the dmg ("Disk Image") icon and save the result in your Applications folder.
  4. Write/Save or Load program, Compile > Build > Execute.
• Method B:
  1. Press Command+Space and type Terminal and press the enter/return key.
  2. In the terminal app, type/copy /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" and press the enter/return key. Wait for the command to finish. If the screen prompts you to enter a password, enter your Mac's user password to continue. When you type the password, it won't be displayed on screen, but the system would accept it. So just type your password and press the enter/return key. Then wait for the command to finish (will take a few minutes).
  3. Now, copy/paste and run this command to make brew command available inside the Terminal: echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> ~/.zprofile
  4. In terminal app, run brew install --cask geany (might take a few minutes too).
  5. Close the terminal app. You are done! You can now use Geany.
