For TINA versions 3.7.5, 3.8.0 and 3.8.5, you must first install a working distribution of tcl-tk on your mac, as the version coming with macos may be broken or unsuitable. Because we tested it, we recommend to install homebrew, and then to install the homebrew package tcl-tk@8 (the default tcl-tk package, version 9, is not supported by TINA yet) by:
- brew install tcl-tk@8
IMPORTANT:
- -- make sure that /opt/homebrew/opt/tcl-tk@8/bin/wish opens a wish window
- -- the TINA GUI (nd.app) does not handle the macos dark mode yet; in dark mode it will show wrong colors.
Hence make sure you open nd.app in light mode !
Then proceed as explained below for Intel macs.
