Python ATOMac Download Options

ATOMac Download options:

The basic download and install options can be found at 
Download and Install Atomac

The most recommended way of installing ATOMac is 

$ sudo easy_install atomac

This should for sure have no problems during installation 'Python' and 'easy_install' are present in Mac by default.

ATOMac source and some basic usage can be viewed / downloaded from ATOMac Source.

Basic Requirement for ATOMac to work:

  • System running OSX and XCode installed in it
  • OSX Version - 10.6.x and above
  • System accessibility must be enabled. This can be done at System Preferences > Universal Access > Enable access to assistive devices. [Note: If this option is not enabled, Python will throw an ErrorAPIDisabled exception]
  • Python is added to system path [Note: This is an optional configuration. Most of the mac system has Python installed by default. So Python is already added to system path]

Check if ATOMac is installed:

Open Terminal
$ python
>> import atomac
If "ImportError: No module named atomac" is displayed, then there is some problem with ATOMac installation.

      Hello, Seems many users have reported errors while installing atomac from Python3. I've not tried doing so. But I see a detailed discussion on this here
      https://github.com/pyatom/pyatom/issues/141

      Please give a try.
