add install instructions for Mac to readme.md
The current installation instructions are difficult to implement on Mac. I found that these steps worked for me on macOS 10.14.6:
- Close QGIS.
- Navigate to the symbolic link to Python3 within the QGIS application at
/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/python3
. This will open a Terminal window with a message about the version of Python is running and will end with the interactive prompt>>>
. - Enter the command
import os
- Install the libraries needed for Pic2Map:
-
os.system('/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/python3 -m pip install pyOpenGL')
-
os.system('/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/python3 -m pip install pyOpenGL_accelerate')
-
os.system('/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/python3 -m pip install piexif')
- Enter the command
exit()
, then close the Terminal. - Reopen QGIS and download the Pic2Map plugin through the usual plugin manager (be sure to enable visibility of experimental plugins first).
