Sonoma

Still works for me, just ran a successful calibration and verification in Sonoma 14.4.1

Only issue is that profiles won’t save. After completion, you have to locate the profile in the library folder, and move it to the ColorSync – profiles folder.

How did you install it and which version (of Python and DisplayCal?

Hello,

I followed the instructions in ‘How to Install’ at:

https://github.com/eoyilmaz/displaycal-py3

I got this error when running ‘make install’:

source ./.venv/bin/activate; \

pip install ./dist/DisplayCAL-3.9.12-*.whl --force-reinstall;

WARNING: Requirement './dist/DisplayCAL-3.9.12-*.whl' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist

ERROR: DisplayCAL-3.9.12-*.whl is not a valid wheel filename.

make: *** [install] Error 1

To fix the issue I opened the ‘Makefile’ in the root directory and changed this line from:

pip install ./dist/DisplayCAL-$(VERSION)-*.whl --force-reinstall;

to:

pip install ./dist/DisplayCAL-0.0.0-cp312-cp312-macosx_14_0_arm64.whl --force-reinstall;

With the file name being what I was able to locate in the ‘dist’ directory. Now when I run ‘make install’ DisplayCAL correctly installs and I run it using ‘make launch’ as per the documentation.

Everything works as expected once running except for ‘Apply ICC Profile’ after doing a calibration. As per this thread it says to copy the ICC Profiles over manually.

The ICC Profiles are located in:

/Users/username/Library/Application Support/DisplayCAL/storage/

The .icc files need to be copied to:

/Users/username/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/

They will now be accessible in macOS Display Settings and can be applied to the appropriate monitors.

macOS Sonoma 14.4.1

Thank you very much! I didn’t know how to figure out the process in Python until I noticed your clear and explicit instructions.

Hi,

I tried the procedure and it fails in building the “wheel”:

Here is what Mac Terminal puts out (last lines showing the error):

Building wheel for DisplayCAL (pyproject.toml) … error

error: subprocess-exited-with-error

× Building wheel for DisplayCAL (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully.

[end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

ERROR: Failed building wheel for DisplayCAL

Failed to build DisplayCAL

ERROR: ERROR: Failed to build installable wheels for some pyproject.toml based projects (DisplayCAL)

Any idea on that?

Looks like some Xcode component is missing. If you had done a little google search:
“xcode-select –install” may help you

[Ulrich Mors]

xcode wasnt mentioned in the list – what is it?

[Vincent]

development enviroment for macOS (gcc, etc…).

Anyway DIsplayCAL 3.9.14 issues shoudl be reported in its guthub web, not here. DisplayCAL-py3 developer (Erkan) is more likely to read there than here.

[Дмитрий Мышков]

The problem is still not solved?

[Дмитрий Мышков]

Edit, found this, but the installation process is above my pay grade! Has anyone found a walkthrough on the python installer?

https://pypi.org/project/DisplayCAL/#files

“a jerry-rig”.

Officially, the developers do not offer anything anywhere.

There are DMG executables ready for download on the web since ~5 months ago. Use them.

Is https://displaycal.net/download/standalone/DisplayCAL.pkg ?

These  one do not launch. The program starts and then a picture is drawn as if I had never started the program.

Confirming that it works on the M4 mini

That’s the point. The distribution is on another resource. Not on the displaycal.net. Why? I’m not asking this question out of curiosity.
