Hello,
I have noticed the latest build of DisplayCal won’t run on Mac OS Sonoma.
Has anyone found a workaround? Any advice highly appreciated.
Edit, found this, but the installation process is above my pay grade! Has anyone found a walkthrough on the python installer?
https://github.com/eoyilmaz/displaycal-py3
https://pypi.org/project/DisplayCAL/#filesWalkthrough found here
https://packaging.python.org/installing/
after enabling Python, run the command:“python3 -m pip install “DisplayCAL”
I am trying to figure this out now too. I read something similar about running it through Python 3 but no clue where to start or even understand the instructions at the link.
It was intimidating, but actually pretty easy. Python packages basically install themselves in terminal, if you know how to run terminal on OS X.
Download the package to your downloads folder.
https://pypi.org/project/DisplayCAL/#filesIn terminal type:
python3 –version
(This to make sure you have Python on the Mac already)Then in terminal type:
python3 -m pip –version(To check this version too)
Then to install DisplayCAL run this in terminal:
python3 -m pip install ./downloads/DisplayCAL-3.9.11.tar.gz
(see this points to the package you downloaded to your downloads folder)Then, locate the DisplayCAL-3.9.11 folder. In there, find the folder named scripts, and click DisplayCAL
One note. There was an issue with Argyll running on the M silicon Macs. So you might have to find the correct Argyll version. I had that already as my Displaycal worked fine, it just stopped working after upgrading to Sonoma.
I am calibrating as I type. Running flawlessly.
Were any of you able to perform a measurement report with python 3 port? a functional one i mean, without all errors to go to 0.
I followed your directions. Thank you!! And got the same error you did. In the pop up screen prior, I selected to install it only for my user (first choice) instead of system wide (bottom choice) and now have it completely installed. I had another hiccup when it asked me to select the Displaycal application. I hit cancel and just continued onward. Did a restart and then now it’s working perfectly.
I followed these instructions to the letter and it still did not work.
The error I got back when I ran the displayCAL from the scripts folders was that it needed python 3.8 and on my system it found 3.12.0
RuntimeError: Need Python version >= 3.8 <= 3.11, got 3.12.0
So I downgraded python to 3.8 and then got another error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/Users/fuzegraphics/Downloads/DisplayCAL-3.9.11/scripts/displaycal”, line 4, in <module>
from DisplayCAL.main import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘DisplayCAL’
Has anybody managed to get DisplayCAL to work with Sonoma yet?
I also went back and tried it through Mojave and got the same error message. (DisplayCAL3.8.9.3 & Argyll 3.0.1)
It sees the DTP94 no problem (both on Mojave and Sonoma) as it appears and disappears in the instrument selector when I plug it in or unplug it. But it won’t access it when it needs to.
It’s working for me on Sonoma using these exact steps on this thread. I am using a spyder x to calibrate. Did you enable your calibration device inside displaycal? It’s in one of the dropdown menus, I can’t remember which one without going to look but once enabled, restart and you should be good to go.
SpyderX Pro on Amazon
Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.My DTP94 shows up under the device drop down menu (and disappears when I disconnect it). So I know it can see the device.
I have the exact same problem with the newest version of the software (DisplayCal and ArgyllCMS) under Mojave as well.
I’ve tried all the different settings and it’s always the same error.

Install .11 in brew.
