How to run in MacOS?

[cmbail]

I successfully compiled on M1 Mac using the instructions at https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/blob/master/instructions/Instruction.md

After compilation, the program ran successfully.

However, after quitting, I can't figure out how to run it again.

There are no instructions on how to run at https://qarmin.github.io/czkawka/instructions/Instruction.html

I have tried "chmod +x ./czkawka_gu" then "./czkawka_gui" in Terminal, but get "zsh: permission denied"

Ideally, I would make a shortcut in the Applications folder so I can run it from MacOS GUI.

If you compiled app from source, then binary should work fine(steps are almost identical between mac and linux)

cd czkawka # Cloned repo folder
cd target
cd release # Depending on compilation options, this may be debug/release or even different folder name
chmod +x ./czkawka_gui # This is only needed once
./czkawka_gui 

If still this not works(that would be strange), then compilation again should work fine(cargo should see that there is nothing to recompile and will run instantly in second and later runs)

cd czkawka
cargo run --release --bin czkawka_gui

The first set worked. Thank you!

My mistake was that I was working on zkawka_gui in the parent and not the release folder.

When the pre-built binaries are made available on homebrew, why not make the fully packaged app available on Homebrew?
