Hi Edmon,

Alright, so you're trying to build the OSX emulator. Try this: 
brew install sdl2 && git clone https://git.sr.ht/~rabbits/uxn && cd uxn && ./build.sh


That will install brew, clone uxn, run the test app. That will create a folder in the uxn/ folder called bin/, in there you'll see uxnemu :)

After that you can use uxnemu on a rom, like ./uxnemu ~/path/to/niju.rom

Let us know if that works for you :) Otherwise, use this: https://metasyn.github.io/learn-uxn/# and click IO/load rom , and select the Niju rom.

Okay. The first line of code was magical. It brought up a window with a piano keyboard.

I figured out to make it disappear with a " ctrl-c "

I am SO close now.

...

I moved "niju.rom" to the "bin" folder ( because "piano.rom" was there… )

and finally figured out how to copy the path to the file. 

I reworked the code phrase and ran it in Terminal:
./uxnemu ~/Users/*************/uxn/bin/niju.rom

But I get this message : " zsh: no such file or directory: ./uxnemu "

Thx again for helping me.

By persisting I managed to enter the "bin" folder itself (with the "cd" command) because I thought it would be easier to launch the application once inside... then I tried several code phrases, the last one works:

"./uxnemu niju.rom"

Two last questions as a result:

1) ... there must be a more elegant sentence that would allow me to launch the application without "going down" in each folder...

2) Can I enlarge the application window, as it is particularly small to review...

I am particularly happy. Thank you for setting me on the right path.

AAAH! Well done :D

Alright, now.

1) ... there must be a more elegant sentence that would allow me to launch the application without "going down" in each folder...

Ideally, you should put all the binaries(uxnemu, and the roms) in one folder, maybe in Documents, like ~/Documents/uxn. That way, you'd only have to do this to launch the niju rom: cd ~/Documents/uxn && ./uxnemu niju.rom

You could even put that commande into a script(niju.sh) so you can double click it to launch niju.

2) Can I enlarge the application window, as it is particularly small to review...

Press F1, enjoy!

Thank you sincerely for your help and patience.

I'll be fine-tuning this.

And we will test it out my daughter and I.

Thank you again.  ★
