BornAgain GUI and Python wheels for MacOS are produced via Homebrew <https://brew.sh/>.

To install BornAgain on MacOS, the official MLZ Homebrew Tap hosted at <https://jugit.fz-juelich.de/mlz/homebrew/> should be used.

First, add the tap to the local Homebrew taps via

$ brew tap mlz/homebrew https://jugit.fz-juelich.de/mlz/homebrew/

After that, brew will be able to work with formulae in 'mlz/homebrew' as if they were in 'homebrew-core' canonical repository.

To install BornAgain v22.1 from the tap, use

$ brew install mlz/homebrew/bornagain@22.1


To obtain detailed information about the BornAgain installation, use

$ bornagain_info

This will display the paths to BornAgain installation, the examples, the Python wheel and the build log.

Run the BornAgain GUI (with Python support) via

$ bornagain

To use BornAgain as a Python package, install the wheel via

$ python3 -m pip install /path/to/bornagain/python/wheel

The path to the Python wheel is obtained via the above-mentioned command:

$ bornagain_info

To uninstall BornAgain, use

$ brew uninstall bornagain@22.1 && brew cleanup
