Would you like to write a paragraph to improve the Mac instructions to install?
What is improve , instructions ? I am not good english text only I am full deaf and low vision.
Only vaguely related but I tried to install CAD-Sketcher and am failing at the first hurdle(s).
Trying to follow the instructions at https://hlorus.github.io/CAD_Sketcher/installation/
Okay I click on the "Zip Archive" but being on a Mac this automatically gets expanded in $HOME/Downloads. Okay I use compress to create a zip file and then I think I am able to install the Addon.
I assume it is not working because I do not have blender with solverspace installed. ( In the past I have installed solverspace as an app I assume from a dmg but it was some time ago )
The instructions say It's recommended to use the addon with Blender installed from the official website. What does that mean? I have to install a copy of Blender with solverspace already installed or just that blender needs to have been installed from official website?
Then it gives the option Install from PyPi - Press. "Install from PyPI" but I see nothing like that to press. Try manually installing with pip install py-slvs. Restart Blender but no solverspace in Bender Preferences.
I am obviously too dumb for modern software.
The installation guide already has a note "do not unpack it after downloading". Should that be expanded to say that it might have to be re-zipped?

Yes, that would make sense to include. Also, for me using the install from PyPI button worked, but after it was installed, I needed to restart Blender for it to be recognized.
I hope this is clear enough: https://github.com/hlorus/CAD_Sketcher/pull/340
